Esther Salas Academy Home

Our VAPA Department at the Esther Salas Academy came together to present an outstanding Christmas show for our 7th and 8th Grade students. This marked the first time an event of this magnitude has been held at our school, making it a truly special and memorable experience for our community. Our students worked extremely hard and delivered a top-quality set of performances that exceeded all expectations.

On December 18, 1787, New Jersey became the 3rd state to ratify the U.S. Constitution and was admitted into the Union, with delegates from all 13 counties in New Jersey voting unanimously. New Jersey was nicknamed “The Garden State" in the nineteenth century by Abraham Browning, a Camden attorney, who stated, "the Garden State is an immense barrel, filled with good things to eat and open at both ends, with Pennsylvanians grabbing from one end and New Yorkers from the other.”

The Esther Salas Academy proudly hosted its very first Parents’ Night, and it was a tremendous success. It was truly encouraging to see so many parents actively engaged, asking thoughtful questions about their children’s grades, academic progress, and overall performance at our school.

Happy Bill of Rights Day! Today, December 15th, commemorates the 1791 ratification of the first Ten Amendments to the United States Constitution, guaranteeing fundamental freedoms like speech, religion, and a fair trial, and reserving powers for the people and states, serving as a cornerstone of American liberty.

Our SES/Innovative Program at Esther Salas Academy began a few weeks ago, and we are excited to see several classes running at full capacity. Introduction to Python Coding, the ESA Fitness Club, and the Hydroponics Club are just a few of the engaging opportunities currently available to our students.
