My experience at SSSAS Upper school has been really great. My son has loved his teachers his first year and the way the school  values the close teacher- student relationship. The teacher care- they are not there just doing a job, but really there to help the kids and support them. Also, there were so many kids that welcomed him and made him feel a part of the school - from day one. He is not super athletic, but started playing on JV team sports (before Covid) and really loved it. I love the way there is the emphasis on character building and being a "good" person. It's a special place and we are so lucky to be there.

I have attended many SSSAS admissions events over years and read lots of posts on here. Parents on DCUM and kids (on the student panels) always go on and on about how special SSSAS is because it values giving to others, being kind and that the teachers “know” the kids. The kids literally all say this. This is absolutely not anything special compared to any other local private school. They literally ALL do this. Why does SSSAS think this is so special and unique to SSSAS? There is almost an arrogance to their statements. It is very off putting. [/quote]

Academics are mediocre so they need something else to try to set them apart.  Prior to Covid many classes were not full so it’s a sales pitch.[/quote]
