Parent Reflections

We cannot overstate how satisfied we have been with our decision to send our son to SALA! The diverse curriculum and self-paced learning format have provided unique academic opportunities, promoted greater independence, and further developed his goal setting skills. The soccer training is second to none! International experiences and community service activities have contributed to greater cultural awareness. SALA has become an extended family that has the shared goal of producing not just great athletes and students, but great PEOPLE!!! Can you imagine never having to battle with your child about getting up for school? Neither could we…until now. This has been one of the better parenting decisions we’ve made and we look forward to repeating the process when our next son comes of age!

~ Brian & Harriet Redondo (Parents of Zachary, a 10th grade & 3-year soccer scholar athlete)
