classroom an environment

"Mrs. Haas has shown extreme
comprehension of our son's
capabilities as a student. He has
not been an easy student, but she
was very positive about it all."
Irene Pinal

In India we consider an
educator to be just a step below
God! Teachers have an immense
role in a student's development
and we are lucky to have such a
wonderful faculty teaching our
children at SAS.
Anuradha Navlakha

As I move forward into high
school, and eventually college, I

end up teaching an RLA class
