Our rigorous mentorship program gives students the opportunity to thrive in a classroom environment that promotes innovative thinking and offers them the freedom to create their own new and diverse concepts. Students are challenged to research, strategize and implement a plan for achieving their personal vision and career goals. Our award-winning program emphasizes professionalism, intellectual pursuit, critical-thinking skills and creative problem-solving.
Ours is a whole-minded approach. SAI is dedicated to launching our students out into the world as leaders ready to build the future.

- Paula Harper Christiansen
