"I have no intention of moving my family out of Smyrna. I want for my son what any parent wants for their child -- to attend schools that are academically challenging and safe. For our small family of three, we only have one shot at getting this right, and will. I will build it for him here in this community, with your guidance and support."    ---FOUNDING SCHOOL PARENT---

What is The SAE School?

We are a PreSchool-12th grade independent school located in Smyrna, Ga. Details on the many unique features of The SAE School can be found by exploring our website.  While we are not affiliated with a specific church or religion, our school's core values will be clearly evident by our actions and respect for others' beliefs.  As a federally recognized 501(c)3 non-profit organization, we are solely focused on the education and development of our children.  

How is The SAE School different?

Our school is different because it was created, and is managed, governed and led by Smyrna educators, parents and residents. For the health and welfare of our school, we will always retain and never relinquish these responsibilities to any outside organization.

Vision and Mission for The SAE School

This VISION for our school will be a national model for what is possible in education through relentless innovation and creativity, exceptionally high expectations and standards, long-term, meaningful and caring relationships, and continuous collaboration with the local community.  The MISSION of The SAE School is to be the most exceptionally SAFE, INNOVATIVE, and RIGOROUS school in Georgia.

When we began developing the mission and vision for our school nearly three years ago, we used the High Tech High model to help guide our school's development.  We want to emulate the exciting and motivating school environment that HTH has created for its students and teachers.  Please view the 15 minute video above of HTH so that you can gain a perspective on what we have been working so hard to create for our kids and community. Our school will be a very cool place for children to learn!

The school does not discriminate against individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, disability, age, genetic information, veteran status, ancestry, or national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, employment policies, and other school administered programs and activities.
