Shady Side Academy students in grades pre-kindergarten through 12 work closely with experienced, caring teachers who encourage the responsible development of mind and character. The Academy has been the beneficiary of over $3.8 million from our SSA Scholarship Partners and through the Education Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC).
For over 125 years, our dedicated donors and volunteers have provided the opportunity for Shady Side Academy to sustain its commitment to the highest standards of education. Because of this remarkable support, more than 180 grants have been awarded to students who otherwise could not have afforded the educational, artistic and leadership opportunities offered at Shady Side.
