Independent school parents are often asked, “Why pay tuition when tax-supported schools are free?” Answers vary. Essentially, parents agree that their investment offers returns for a lifetime. They like having all their school-aged children together on one campus. Their kids don’t just attend school—they join a supportive community where performances and events are family affairs. Most important, independent schools are fully accredited yet free from sweeping governmental directives. That’s why SA can tailor its programs to its mission: to produce learners who listen with understanding, who read and think critically, who express themselves clearly and persuasively. Graduates attest to the value of their parents’ investment — through their many successes in college and career.
    The Academy believes in the values of diversity and strives to be increasingly inclusive. All families are welcome to visit our campus and to consider independent school for their children’s futures. For families with limited income, financial assistance is available. We are excited to see our community growing. It’s a great time to be a Raider!
