School Overview
The School for Advanced Studies (SAS) – South is a prestigious collegiate high school located on the campus of Miami Dade College’s Kendall site.

The program is designed for academically gifted students seeking a rigorous, college-level curriculum in a supportive, small-school environment.

SAS South is highly regarded for its focus on college readiness, providing a tuition-free pathway that saves families significant costs in higher education while better preparing students for the transition to elite universities. The school consistently ranks among the top institutions in Florida, drawing students who are self-motivated, academically ambitious, and looking for an intellectual challenge beyond the traditional high school experience.
