[quote=Anonymous]We sent our DS to SAAS in 9th grade after looking very broadly at private schools, particularly those starting in 9th grade or where the class size increases substantially in high school. Our experience has been very positive for a number of reasons, some of which surprised us: - a really nice community of boys (and parents!) - an excellent 4-year Arabic language program - the value add of 4 years of religion classes that are mostly taught w. a philosophical approach - small classes (think 2:1 student-to-teacher ratio) - the ability to pursue Independent Study as an Upperclassman (often with a teacher who is a PhD) - great institutional commitment to the Fine Arts - ability to play on a sports team and benefit from that experience even if not a great athlete For a boy who takes advantage of what this small and personalized environment has to offer, SAAS can be an excellent experience and a rock-solid foundation for college.
