Enroll at SABA Today!
The School of the Arts for Boys Academy (SABA) will begin its inaugural school year of operation in August 2023 in our new Pittsboro, NC facility. Families in Chatham County and surrounding communities are encouraged to apply for enrollment for their rising grades 3-to-6 boys. SABA will provide an exceptional educational opportunity, developed specifically to meet the needs of young boys and the academic challenges they often encounter in traditional schools.
Benefits of Attending SABA
SABA will specifically focus on educational equity coupled with intentional efforts in removing significant barriers that directly and/or indirectly deny groups of culturally and linguistically diverse boys a high-quality education. While we will serve all students, we will target students who have been underserved as evidenced by their low proficiency and growth records and discipline patterns. SABA strives to offer an unsurpassed learning environment for our boys. Here are just a few examples of the benefits your son will experience by attending SABA.
