Our Educational Philosophy And Approach
At SALA, we believe that children should become self-directed learners who take ownership over their education and future goals. We offer a curriculum that is responsive and individualized. Our smaller school campuses and 7:1 student-to-faculty ratio encourages voice and choice.
SALA’s Graduation Path

- Fine arts
- Business & Entrapreuneurship
- Foreign Languages
Middle and high school elective courses are also offered, as well as Advanced Placement (AP) credit courses.
In addition to a rigorous core academic curriculum, our scholar athletes choose eight-week elective courses on a range of topics. These units of inquiry include topics such as robotics, financial literacy, podcast communication, sports management, justice and equity, and leadership.
College Readiness and Postgraduate Studies
SALA proudly maintains a 100% graduation rate and 100% four-year college acceptance rate. We are committed to preparing young people for their next steps, whether that means attending college, enrolling in career training, or taking a gap year.

For SALA graduates who are interested in taking a gap year before entering college or their career, we offer a post-graduate program in sports and leadership studies.
