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. A partnership between Miami-Dade County Public Schools and Miami Dade College, the institution provides a unique dual-enrollment model that allows high-achieving 11th and 12th-grade students to complete their last two years of high school while simultaneously earning an Associate in Arts degree. The program is designed for academically gifted students seeking a rigorous, college-level curriculum in a supportive, small-school environment.
Because the program is fully integrated into a college campus, students benefit from a high degree of independence and exposure to diverse college courses alongside traditional high school requirements. 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.
