SAS was named the #3 best high school in the United States and the best high school in Florida, in the 2023 rankings released by U.S. News & World Report. SAS is a full-time, collegiate high school where students complete their last two years of high school while attending MDC and, in most cases, simultaneously earn a high school diploma and an Associate of Arts degree.
Located at five MDC campuses (Homestead, Kendall, North, West, and Wolfson), SAS takes pride in its diverse student population, nurturing learning environment and commitment to providing all students with a rich and rigorous liberal arts education with many of its students specializing in STEM.
A combined effort between MDC and Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS), SAS is a part of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools district.
