I have 3 kids who have attended since 2003. They love the school and the teachers very much. The teacher to student ratio is less then half most public schools. As a result close classroom bonds occur, giving the student more individualized attention then most over crowded public schools can give.

For all the pluses, only a few minues in that they don't have the big budget resources for very many extra-circular activities, and lunch must be brought from home. Some of the classes are unusally small, esp in the upper grades, having less then half a dozen students - this can be a good thing or not, depending on student needs. They seem to go through some restructing in 2005 but this year looks good! I can't think of a better school for my kids to be. Read less

This school has a great K-6 program. I would reccommend it to anyone looking for smaller classroom size and more one on one attention for each child. The teachers do seem to take a true interest in each child's education.

Both of my boys have gone to SAGE for going on four years now. This school was the best choice I could have made for them.

SAGE is a school that is constantly changing and always striving to excel in every form of education for the children. The school has always welcomed parent suggestions with open arms and has fomed a 'family' like atmosphere for the children by keeping the school smaller so each child can be a focus.
