A typical private school experience in many ways. I attended SA from 3-12 grade and never had any personal or academic hiccups or major obstacles. The staff are always available for extra academic help if you are willing to ask for it. I think the academy has some great administrators and department heads who really want to make the school a special place.

The teachers are great; the administration needs some significant changes. Some of the best teachers are leaving because of the administration.
