​

What makes SRA unique? In a word: differentiation. SRA does not follow a "one-size fits all" approach to education where one teacher teaches a large group of students all at the same level. At SRA, our small, skill-based groupings allow us to differentiate instruction on an individual basis. When a student is ready to move ahead, they move ahead. Students who learn at their own level and pace, do not become bored or frustrated. They move more efficiently and often faster through material and gain a deeper, more meaningful understanding. Teachers guide, mentor, challenge, and assess while providing their students with the freedom needed to inquire, explore, and develop a deeper love of learning.

​

We do not associate academic rigor with test-taking, hours of homework, and rote memorization of facts. Rigor at SRA is much more expansive as we provide our students with opportunities to explore complex concepts and issues, challenge assumptions, think critically, creatively problem-solve, and acquire skills that they will need to apply throughout their educational and future professional journeys.
