The teachers and classes are mostly great, as are the arts and athletic offerings. There isn't a strong community, which is something the school should work on.

Great school with an amazing culture and student-teacher community. The school pushes a student to take risks, but the community is so supportive and rewarding. Gives a student a new perspective on taking safe risks, like performing, sharing their art, doing a sport, and on.

I have a child who is creative yet struggles academically because of learning differences. SAAS'S learning support group (Mike Haykin is amazing) has gone above and beyond to help support my child along the way.
