We believe in the potential of every child, and we are committed to helping your children realize the best in themselves so they can bring out the best in the world. But our success, and the success of our students, is in part because parents take an active role in their children’s development, maturation, and education.
Inside classrooms, on the playground, or on field trips, there are many opportunities for interested parent volunteers to help. Student safety is paramount at SDA, so all volunteers must obtain a fingerprint clearance card. If interested in volunteering at SDA, please contact us for more information.
All parents of SDA students are eligible for one of the five elected representative positions (chairperson, vice-chairperson, treasurer, secretary, and fundraiser coordinator), and all parents are encouraged to attend monthly PAC meetings. If interested in becoming involved with the PAC at your child’s school, please contact the school directly and ask for more information.
For example, if you owe $1,000 in state income tax, and you donate $400 to SDA, then you are only liable to pay $600 in taxes to the state. Arizona residents may donate $200 for those filing as individuals, and $400 for those filing jointly.
All tax credit dollars go directly to funding students’ extracurricular activities and programs, including the violin program, field trips, after school clubs, and sports activities. You may donate in full or in installments. Please contact us for more information if interested in making a charitable contribution to support enrichment programs and learning opportunities for students at SDA.

We teach a grade higher than most Arizona schools, but our curriculum is much more than that. We focus on developing strong foundations and opening the door to unlimited futures.
