SAS and the University of the South have a deep, historic bond that benefits students on both campuses as well as the larger mountaintop community.
Our campuses are adjacent, with miles of easily accessible, forested trails and spectacular views of the valley below. We are inspired by the natural beauty of the plateau, embracing outdoor adventure and experiential learning as essential parts of education.
Our schools attract students from all over the country and the world, and from all walks of life.
Sharing values like honor, service, and community, we are committed to helping youth and young adults lead with integrity, as we have done together for more than 100 years.
