At the School for Advanced Studies Northwest Arkansas, excellence is cultivated through our deep roots in the local community. Local pride fuels a rigorous, forward-thinking curriculum, ensuring every student’s growth is nurtured both by their community and by a broader vision of what’s possible.
The School for Advanced Studies is proud to be one of Arkansas’ top-rated schools. We have an “A” rating from the Arkansas Department of Education, and we were recognized by the Office of Education Policy at the University of Arkansas for high academic growth.
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.
