Founded in 1920 by Kurt Hahn, Prince Max of Baden, and Carl Hahn, it is one of the most prominent and largest boarding schools in Germany.

Salem caters to students from diverse backgrounds and nationalities, offering both the German Abitur and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, making it attractive to both German and international students seeking a globally-recognized education. Its unique structure across multiple age-specific campuses, historical setting (especially the main campus in the Schloss Salem castle), and commitment to holistic development set it apart.
