School for Advanced Studies (SAS) North is a unique, collegiate-model high school located on the North Campus of Miami Dade College. It is part of a highly regarded dual-enrollment program within the Miami-Dade County Public Schools system, specifically designed to bridge the gap between high school and higher education. The school serves students in their junior and senior years, providing an academically rigorous environment where they complete their high school graduation requirements while simultaneously earning an Associate in Arts degree from Miami Dade College, tuition-free.

Because the program is integrated into a college campus, students at SAS North experience a level of independence and academic maturity that differs from a traditional high school setting. The curriculum is challenging, focusing on college-level coursework, critical thinking, and time management. This environment is ideal for self-motivated, high-achieving students who are looking for a head start on their undergraduate education and who thrive in a structured, professional, and diverse intellectual community.
