I went to a traditional public school last year and managed to make pre-AP honor role and received several awards for all of my hard work there. Even though I did very well academically, I wasn't happy.
I came to SAIL because unlike most schools, there is a lot more value in the individual person. I'm no longer just a number, but I’m a student who can truly express herself and find a learning style that most suits me. I finally feel like I’m growing and preparing for the real world.

People make SAIL seem like it's just a school for "troubled" kids, but it's not. If anything, it's for people who want a different atmosphere and approach towards education. I think it's time for SAIL's reputation of being the school for the weird kids; that can't make it anywhere else to change, and become a place known for helping students have their own identity.

I'm much happier this year and I really feel like not only am I receiving a great education but I’m also getting expand as a person and learn about all different kinds of people.

Sincerely,
Powell Kreis
