Beyond the Classroom

Our student-centered culture extends beyond academics. Explore clubs, activities, and opportunities for leadership development.

Outstanding Educational Performance Awards​

In our very first year, SAS NWA students — our community’s future leaders, dreamers, and doers — achieved end-of-year assessment results at rates more than double the state average in ELA, math, and science. This is what’s possible when a community invests in its own bright future.
