My girls have gone to SDSA since 1st grade and my oldest just graduated from there last June. Best school around. They both love school. The arts teachers are the best around. The kids are so happy there and very polite and friendly. Love the uniforms. It definitely works. I wish it went all the way through high school. My daughter was definitely prepared for high school. Great staff and teachers.

Administers are on top of any problems right away. They do incentives that the kids have to earn. Its a great environment.

My granddaughter really like SDSA. She is very artistic, musical and loves to dance. I hope she will be band(s). At the age of 5 years old, I am teaching her piano. So far, the only complaint I've heard from her is about the uniforms. A Proud Grandmother!
