Join us for a Shadow Day at the School for Advanced Studies — the newest tuition-free public charter school serving grades 5–12 in northwest Arkansas!

Shadow Days are an immersive experience where your student will “shadow” a current School for Advanced Studies student during the school day. Your student will explore a school dedicated to academic excellence, leadership, and real-world learning. It’s the ultimate chance to experience our advanced curriculum, class schedule, and vibrant student life firsthand!

Students participating in this all-day event will have the chance to:

Explore our historic campus within the former Lane Hotel.
Make friends and meet the Hellbenders.
Meet friendly teachers and see our school day in action.
Observe engaging teachers and unique lesson plans.
Experience our exciting academic and extracurricular programs.

What to know before you attend:

Shadow students should arrive at the school lobby between 7:45–8:00 AM. A parent must be present at drop-off.
Shadow students are typically paired with someone in their current grade (unless they request to shadow a specific student they already know).
SAS high school students are allowed to go off campus during lunch period. Parents will be asked at drop-off whether their child has permission to go off campus; if not, please send them with a packed lunch.
Shadow students are welcome to spend the full school day at SAS. Half-day visits are also an option. Pickup times are arranged with parents at drop-off.

Don’t miss this opportunity! RSVP today and let your student experience the innovative curriculum and dynamic learning environment crafted by the founding team of the School for Advanced Studies.

If this date does not work for you, please call the school to make an individual appointment. enrollment@schoolsforadvancedstudies.org
