EDUCATING STUDENTS TO BECOME CATHOLIC LEADERS OF THE 21^st  CENTURY

SAS is an inaugural member of the I3 Innovation Institute, a highly selective group of Catholic schools in 2015 within the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. As such, the school’s professional team constantly reviews research-based trends, designs new solutions to best serve our students and collaborates with several universities.
