Sonoran Science Academy - Broadway (SSA - BROADWAY) is a tuition-free public charter school in Arizona. SSA - BROADWAY, a college preparatory school, emphasizes science, math, and computer science, while providing solid liberal arts foundation for their students.
In 2008, seeing a high demand for quality education in the east side of Tucson, local scientists, educators and community leaders envisioned a school that focus on math, science and computer science. This vision included successful students who were able to compete with their international peers both in the classroom and in their jobs.
SSA - BROADWAY offers free tutoring to students in all subjects and encourages all students to participate in extracurricular academic clubs, athletic teams and social booster clubs. SSA - BROADWAY believes that fostering children with a well-rounded social background and rigorous academics is a necessary part of college preparation. It is this unique balance between rigorous academics and extracurricular participation that becomes each child's formula for success in life and prepares students for the rigors of University.
It is the conviction of SSA - BROADWAY that the educational process can only be successful if the essential underlying triad of Student-Teacher-Parent works in harmony. SSA - BROADWAY is not just a school but also rather a learning environment. All parents are welcomed on campus and encouraged to find a place to make their own personal contribution. Although this is by no means a requirement, SSA - BROADWAY faculty and students enjoy the many individual contributions parents share and thus enrich our campus. Many parents, as well as faculty, assist with the academic and social booster clubs while other parents find their own unique niche to enrich the lives of our student body.
