What separates FSSA from other more traditional boarding schools are the immediate consequences students face when they break the rules. With the leverage we receive from parental support, we use a unique blend of on campus work detail and detention study hours to encourage good choice making. With 150 acres available for community service, there is an endless amount of work that can be found to occupy the time of the few who choose to break the rules. We feel that parents should not be penalized for the behavior of their child. Therefore, every attempt is made to avoid expulsion of a student.
Parental commitment is of the utmost importance in the admission process.
We cannot deliver successful outcomes without the support of our parents. We have seven adobe style dormitories. Two buildings contain seven classrooms. A separate science building provides two fully equipped laboratories for biology, chemistry and physics. The art room, with its open air patio, is fully equipped with a firing kiln and a potters wheel.
