At SSOA, we believe that learning should be as unique as each student. Traditional classroom settings don’t always work for every child, and we understand that students have individual learning styles and needs.
Our alternative program is designed to support each student in a way that works best for them—whether through hands-on learning, personalized attention, in-school supports, or tutoring. We provide the opportunity for students to thrive beyond the traditional classroom setting, offering a supportive environment that meets them where they are. This approach empowers students to grow academically, emotionally, and socially while discovering and exploring their full potential.
Athletics
At SSOA, we believe athletics are imperative for a well-rounded educational experience. We have a variety of activities for students to participate in and have access to facilities designed for multi-sport use.
Our athletic programming helps student-athletes develop intrinsic motivation, responsibility, teamwork, leadership skills, and courage following our programs values of kindness, integrity, perseverance, respect, and responsibility.
Some of our popular sports include basketball, softball, cross country, and hockey. There is something for everyone to get involved in! Go SSOA!
