Student balance is important and something we care a lot about. One of our pillars at SAS is extraordinary care, and we take it to heart. We want students to feel known, cared for, connected to our school--and to achieve a healthy balance of work and play in their lives. Our counselors meet with our students to choose and recommend course loads that are challenging, but also allow the time and room for our students to explore interests and extracurriculars. Just as our counselors encourage students to not overload on AP courses and to only pursue those that truly interest them, they do the same with our ATs. If at any point you are worried that your student is not coping in healthy ways, please reach out; let your student’s advisor, teachers, or counselor know.
