About this Event
The School for Advanced Studies invites prospective parents to step inside our classrooms and witness the magic of Seminars—a cornerstone of the SAS experience.
Watch and see how our students develop global perspectives through diverse, thought-provoking literature and spirited, intellectual dialogue. During these special sessions, parents will observe students engaging in rich discussions, challenge ideas, and lead their peers in collaborative learning.
This is a unique opportunity to see the Hellbenders in action—thinking critically, speaking passionately, and growing as scholars and global citizens.
Please note: Only 4 seats available per Seminar. This event is for adults only. We ask that visitors observe quietly to preserve the authenticity of the student-led experience.
We look forward to welcoming you into our learning community!
