In addition, intramural sports provide a less competitive athletic program. The music program is also in full swing after school. These groups perform several times a year on campus and around the city. The computer lab is also a very popular place as boys explore new programs or work on assignments. SAA has one hundred computers designated for instructional purposes and updates its computer hardware and software each year.
Extra help is provided for boys who wish to get an early start on their homework.
Many teachers are on campus after school to give additional help to students. The Year-'Round Afterschool Enrichment Program attracts boys and girls from all over the city. Enrichment courses cover a variety of topics, including Young Astronauts, chess, Spanish, piano lessons, ceramics, model rocketry, science and sports. Afterschool activities have become part of SAA's culture, bonding our boys even closer to The Academy and furthering the sense of family that is the heart of the school. Our guys feel like they belong here, and they want to hang around after classes end.
