*Athletics (football, basketball, softball, and soccer);
*Academic challenges including math competitions, Odyssey of the Mind, Future Problem Solving, and Chess Team;
*Clubs including digital yearbook, creative writing, Spanish
SACA is not a traditional high school - students are provided with a study guide in which they work through at their own pace. By working at their own pace, students have the opportunity to accelerate. SACA has an excellent gifted program as well as an excellent special education program. Student-teacher interaction is one-to-one.
The Academy is an alternative school whose mission and goals are to prepare mature students academically to achieve personal goals and meet the requirements of the Arizona State Board of Education as well as to become lifelong learners by providing an alternative setting that includes a one-on-one learning environment which fosters critical thinking skills, social responsibility, and ownership of success.
