General and Non-Discriminatory

GSA is a full-time Pre-K elementary, middle, and high school, and admissions are open throughout the year. The principal and school coordinators make the decision for new students to be admitted to a specific grade level after evaluation of application, screening test results, individual and family interviews, supporting documents including transcripts and any discipline/probation records from the previous school. GSA admits students of any race, gender or religion to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to its students and does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender or religion in the administration of its educational policies, admissions, and programs.
At the present time, GSA does not have the resources to support children with special needs.
However, it does assist parents/guardians in securing help through the School District of Palm Beach County’s Department (SDPBC) of Exceptional Student Education (ESE), ONLY for students with speech and language impairment and deny the services for students with any other special need.  Speech and language therapy is provided by an independent speech pathologist. At The Garden of Sahaba Academy, we have a multiracial, ethnic and culturally diverse population of students and families, in which most of our students are bilingual and may need speech or language services. Therefore, GSA elects the right to only allow the speech and language resources provided from The School District of Palm Beach County ESE program.
