Science & Arts Academy, located in Des Plaines, IL, is a school known for its unique approach to gifted education, utilizing differentiated curriculum, small class sizes, and a state-of-the-art facility. We offer classes from preschool through eighth grade and have open enrollment, allowing students to begin classes at any time during the year.
Science & Arts Academy was founded in 1992 with the vision to provide intellectually and creatively talented students a stimulating and supportive environment designed for their unique abilities. Since then, we have never wavered from that vision. The SAA experience is structured around three primary goals:
- Gifted Academics: SAA provides academic challenges appropriate to the student's ability, aptitude and intellect.
- Gifted Social Peer Groups: SAA provides a welcoming and nurturing environment where gifted kids can be kids, and where children learn to embrace their giftedness. Students are part of a community, enjoying the company of children of like age, interests and ability.
- Gifted Personal Growth: SAA provides the tools to help the child grow and develop into a confident, able and effective young person.
