Welcome to a collaborative teaching community of lifelong learners.

At SAS, we value and support our faculty so they can better value and support our kids. Through our professional learning program, you’ll find the innovative, empowering energy that is infused in our student experience is found at the heart of our faculty experience as well. (As proof, take a look at our Signature Programs – most of which were born out of the passion of our teachers.) Add that to great resources and enthusiastic students, and it’s no wonder our average faculty tenure is 5.9 years. We believe you’ll be a better teacher because of SAS. And we believe we’ll be a better school because of you.

When we had a teacher decide to take another job in mid-July, we were left with few options. Historically, it was a tough position to fill. Within 24 hours of posting the position on Schrole, we were able to offer a contract to a more-qualified educator.
