School Notes
SAC offers small class sizes to provide the kind of attention
and support that we believe to be vital for learning in the
classroom. This size aids in creating a family-like atmosphere in
which teacher, student and parent can come together with a
consistency and commitment that is beneficial to the child's
educational and personal development. Parents also have the
advantage of monitoring the progress of their child via the
internet. On this database parents' have access to their child's
records, daily homework assignments, grades, teacher's
e-mails.
In an effort to support working families and busy lives we
offer both before and after school care. In addition, students also
engage in after school activities, advanced study teams, field
trips, and science fairs.
In the primary grades (PK-3rd) students have a homeroom teacher
who works hard to instill the love of learning in their students.
These teachers work with diligence, skill and creativeness in order
to provide the most nurturing and mentally stimulating environments
possible.
Beginning in the fourth grade students progress into a new area
of development in which more responsibilities are required.
Students change teachers/classrooms throughout the day. These
teachers posses a mastery of their subjects and use innovative
methods and tools in order to cultivate and inspire the minds of
our students.
In addition to our distinctive curriculum we also offer
advanced study teams which engage selected student in a deeper
exploration of mathematics and science. Such students participate
in competitions on the state, national and international levels.
Beyond the awards and recognition gained from competing, these
events also generate an excitement and passion towards the pursuit
of wisdom. Guided and supported by faculty members and steeped in
the knowledge of their subjects.

I have two children attending SAC. We moved to the area this year and I am glad that we made the decision to send our kids to SAC. I will definitely re-enroll them for next year because of the quality education, family like environment, dedicated staff&administration, affordable tuition, and clean facilities.

Most adults find traveling more complicated and challenging that it was pre-pandemic. We offer some suggestions for safe teen travel in these uncertain times.
One of the basic differences between private and public schools is the fact that most public school teachers belong to a union. Should teachers be unionized?
