SAA News & Events

Philippe Jones had an idea to help introduce the game of tennis to kids who typically don’t have the opportunity to play. With no experience but lots of passion, this third grader, with the help from ‘a small village,’ set out to see his vision come to fruition.

Congratulations to the Class of 2019. We wish you the very best in your journey through high school and college.

Academy boys took the annual National Spanish Exam recently, and the results are impressive.

This competitive tradition brings alumni together with the 8th grade Wildcat basketball team for a fun annual rivalry.

Author, Kathryn Otoshi, engaged all ages during her visit on October 18. She opened by telling the boys that she sees books as doorways making it possible to go anywhere. Her books are full of symbols. She considers a solid line as the person who picks you up.

¡Qué día tan fantástico! On October 29, Kinder, 1st & 3rd graders took part in the very first SAA Spanish festival. The event kicked off with festive music from a live Mariachi Band playing a variety of traditional songs, including ‘Cielito Lindo.’

Jennifer Hayes’ science class took a creative turn last month. Eighth graders made masks that reflected who they are, both personally and 'chemically.' The interdisciplinary project entailed writing poems about themselves to include an element of their choice that best portrayed them. The activity challenged the boys to examine their hopes, dreams, feelings, and fears.
