I wrote a review when my son was in kindergarten, now he's about to graduate 4G! We continue to be extremely happy. I also have a little one in 1G who''s also thriving. Both my kids are happy at school and they are excelling academically. I''m always in awe of how they are learning and growing. The remote schooling was hard, especially for my youngest who did kindergarten remotely and required a lot of parental involvement. My oldest was almost completely independent (it was amazing seeing him grow so much and adapt under the circumstances). The school and the teachers did an amazing job during remote school and I was so surprised to see my kids continue to learn in spite of being remote. I feel so lucky every time I hear how much other students have lost academically during these past two years because I know that even if it was hard, my kids did amazing thanks to their great teachers and their school organization. One of the things we love the most is the specials. My kids particularly enjoy playing chess and my older one is also on the soccer team. Through the years their teachers have been amazing and nurturing. My kids totally adore them. My oldest will transition to another success academy for middle school next year. I know he''ll be prepared to continue excelling in his academic life but he has also learned so much more. This is a great school for us! I know it''s not for everyone but leadership is very clear from the beginning setting up expectations (being on time, reading every night, homework, having a complete uniform, parental communication/responsiveness, etc). If you don''t agree with them don''t choose SA. If you do, I wish you the best of luck getting in! It really is like winning the lottery!
