Why CMA School of Arts and Sciences

Kai ~ Current SAS Student

Students and their families choose to be part of the CMA SAS family for a variety of reasons.

Some come to us as athletes, performing artists, or world travelers needing a program with flexible scheduling and that will incorporate what they are already doing as part of their learning program.
Others come to us with health concerns, needing a nurturing learning environment that will put the student’s health needs first, tailoring the learning plan accordingly.
Some of our students are accelerated learners who are on track to an early graduation, often incorporating college credit into their high school program.
Others need to catch up in their credits, or they need the extra help with learning challenging concepts in one or more subjects.
Many are creative, inventive learners who want a more meaningful learning experience, often one that is “outside of the box.”
All of our students enjoy the personalized approach, allowing them to take an active role in designing their learning plans, and enjoying the variety of course options available.
