Extracurriculars & Enhanced Learning
Numerous opportunities to help students
Through extracurricular activities and an enhanced curriculum, Self Development Academy helps students develop a lifelong love for learning that extends into high school, college, graduate school, and life beyond.
Self Development Academy students are exposed to hands-on science labs (rare in elementary schools) that provide opportunities for learning about and participating in the scientific method.
The annual science fair gives students the opportunity to explore an area of interest within various science fields and directly apply the scientific process to a subject of personal interest.
Middle school students may also participate in the Science Olympiad and compete with other students throughout the Valley.
Genius, Unlimited.
