The Science & Arts Academy (SAA) is an independent school in Des Plaines that provides educational opportunities for gifted students. On Thursday, May 9, starting at 9 a.m., SAA will host an in-person event for prospective parents. This event is designed specifically for parents who are seeking alternative education options for their talented children.
During the event, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from Director of Enrollment Mindy Hildebrandt and Dr. Ama Thompson, the director of Assessment, Curriculum, and Instruction. They will learn about how SAA caters to the unique needs of gifted students within its one-of-a-kind environment. Prospective parents will also gain insights into SAA’s approach to gifted education, observe differentiation in action during a school tour, and interact with current parents and students.
