So at SAA we had 2 hours of study every night. There was 3 places where we were able to study. If you were in Grade 10, you either could study in the study hall or the library. Grade 11 - 12 you were either to study in the study hall or if you were an honors student you were able to study in your room (which was the biggest achievement for myself). The bonus side to studying in your room is that you could essentially do anything you wanted to. I was only able to study in my room for my Grade 12 year but that for me was the biggest achievement ever. When I entered SAA in Grade 10 I started school with an average of 58%. When I graduated I left with honors.
So now back as an university student I see the benefits of having study period every night. I myself have to have a very strict set of "rules" when I study. My friends think I'm crazy to always be doing homework but that is a life of a student. I have to work 10 times harder than the average student because it takes me longer to process and retain the information
There has been a lot of things that I have benefited from the Academy still to this day. Not one day goes by where I don't think SAA was the best thing for me as a person. The person that I have become today is because of SAA. Without it, I'm not sure I would be able to sit in this university class because if I went to a regular school I don't think I would of made it through high school.
