Why SJA over any other option?? Because middle school shouldn't just be a great growth opportunity for YOUR child- but it should be an experience of growth for your child along with their family. Studies have shown that parents' involvement during this critical time of a child's self discovery matters. Their sense of community matters. The building blocks of the whole child you have been nurturing shouldn't end at sixth grade - it only makes sense to continue nurturing them through their most influential time period of adolescence. This is when they need you the most for guidance! You can be as engaged or as disengaged as you choose in the daily life of your child here at SJA. But at least you have a choice. And here you have not just a community for your child to grow in, but a whole family to grow in TOGETHER. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE AND THE DIFFERENCE DOES MATTER.
