The Shady Side Academy Senior School is a place where great learning happens every day. It is a School founded on Guiding Principles and supportive of student learning across a wide variety of experiences. From the rigors of our classrooms to the competition of our playing fields, from the overseas experiences of our International Program to the productions in the Hillman Center for the Performing Arts, the students of Shady Side Academy Senior School are constantly learning. They learn from a caring and committed faculty who knows its students well. They learn because of the experiences those faculty members help create. Those experiences, in turn, help mold our students into the thoughtful leaders they will become.

We know that adolescence offers a time of incredible development in the lives of children. Only when we thoughtfully take advantage of the opportunity to facilitate learning can we help our students develop fully. The Shady Side Academy Senior School does just that, helping students learn in all they do. We often speak of our curriculum as "all that we do with intention," and we do everything with intention.



Come visit our campus to see the Shady Side Academy Senior School experience in action. Only by using all five senses can you begin to understand all that we do. This is a great place to become the person you want to be.
