Welcome to the Southern Arizona Community Academy. The school staff looks forward to a successful partnership in learning with you.

Here at SACA, students in grades 9-12 are provided the opportunity to earn a high school diploma through an alternative, accelerated program. They can meet the Academic standards prescribed by the Arizona State Board of Education in quality, personalized, relevant learning experiences. We also offer a Microsoft IT (Information Technology) Academy Program and have become an authorized Certiport testing center for the Microsoft Office Specialist exams. Students can earn Microsoft certifications in all Microsoft Office programs. They can prepare for college or university as well as high skill occupations through on-campus and college courses.

We believe that in accepting the opportunity to participate in a rigorous accelerated academic program, students are preparing themselves for productive, fulfilling and socially responsible lives. Our goal at SACA is to support students by fostering self-confidence and academic success. We therefore commit to respect and value each student and his or her ability to learn.

In addition, we hold students to high standards of attendance, academic achievement and behavior. Please be sure to read and understand all policies and procedures. We encourage parents to participate in both the academic and co-curricular programs.

May your 2009-2010 school year be successful and rewarding!
