SAS is a nationally recognized collegiate high school of excellence, a combined effort of Miami-Dade County Public Schools and Miami-Dade College (MDC). Students attending SAS complete their last two years of high school while attending MDC. The opportunity for acceleration and enrichment attracts motivated and academically talented students. SAS boasts a family-like environment, small school setting, and focus on a quality education.
