I love SAA. The music program is amazing, with the band starting at 4th grade, the choir from Kindergarten, and even more options in high school. The sports are also great, with a wide variety offered, including volleyball, soccer, flag football, and softball. All the teachers are amazing, and the education is great. I would recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a good, Christian education. Everyone is welcome!
