#ThrowbackThursday for an alumni update from the Class of 2027! We checked in with SA Alum, Devin, who currently studies Leadership and Management Consulting at Loyola University Maryland. At HSLA-MA, Devin became interested in management through his leadership roles as Co-Stage Manager for Tech Crew, Student Life Team Lead, and SA Student Ambassador. Now, in college, Devin still holds his status as Stage Manager for Loyola Theater and is also a Student Ambassador for Loyola Admission, giving tours to prospective students. Devin continues to hold a presence here as well, where he works as a Campus Ambassador for Success. Our alumni continue to grow and build community beyond the classroom and we are so proud to follow along on their journeys! Devin will take on a career in Project Management or Management Consulting post-college, when he graduates in 2027.

And thank you to the college class of 2028! 👏

Did you know that 100% of our scholars took at least one AP exam this year, compared to 35% of all students in the US? In fact, 1,300+ prepared scholars sat for 16 different AP tests at the world-renowned Javits Center — the most in our history! At SA, we know AP exams are a big deal, opening doors to college credit, acceptance, and financial aid — which is why we give each and every one of our scholars the chance to take them, at no cost.

In this past school year, over 1,400 teachers prepared 20,000+ scholars to thrive and excel throughout our 53 schools. We thank our teachers for their dedication, passion, and hard work. Our teachers are the foundation of our schools and we appreciate them immensely for their commitment to our scholars, their families and the SA mission. Help us celebrate our teachers in the comments 🧡

Ciao! Join our Classroom Correspondent, Cali, as she takes us through a field study! Cali and her classmates spent months learning about the science behind yeast, the different types of bread that exist around the world, and all of the ingredients and tools used to make various doughs. Now, in this field study, they're able to take what they have learned in the classroom and use that knowledge to make their very own pizzas. Bon Appétit!

The Sail Grand Prix race came through New York recently, and our scholars got an up-close look at the massive, high-speed, eco-friendly boats! 20+ scholars who are interested in STEM were invited to participate in SailGP's Inspire Program. They went to the SailGP Technical Site in Jersey City to visit the racing grounds, learn how sailing is powered by nature with hands-on STEM activities that teach about the elements, and met a SailGP athlete prior to their race! Check out some behind-the-scenes from their trip to this event!

We are proud to present to you the Class of 2028!

Did you know that children who are given access to books over the summer perform 35-40% better on reading achievement tests? That’s why, this summer, we’ve sent our scholars home with physical copies of books we know they will love so that they can keep up with their daily reading habits! What books are on your summer reading list? Let us know in the comments!

That’s a wrap on elementary school! Say hello to the new class of middle schoolers! We are so excited to have just celebrated with our new fifth graders at their 4th grade rising-up ceremonies! They have spent their entire elementary careers falling in love with learning, finding their own voices, and discovering new talents and passions and we can’t wait to see them continue to grow and learn in middle school.
