Interim Semester Scholarships
Interim Semester is a required off-campus experience designed to enhance the SAS experience by providing high school students with diverse educational experiences beyond the traditional classroom.
Interim Semester courses offered vary slightly from year to year, but range from activities in Singapore to excursions to other nations in Asia and beyond.
Purchases made at the SAS Alumni Store fund scholarships allowing more SAS students to experience the magic of an Interim Semester adventure.
Produce in Akron, Sell Globally
All printing and embroidery for the SAS Alumni Store takes place in Akron, Ohio - home of the Black Keys, DEVO and the Pretenders.
We could mention Lebron James, but everyone knows he's from Akron.
The amazing, sometimes multi-generational, family-owned businesses that we work with take pride in their people and stand behind their work.
As much as possible, we try to source all merchandise and services from similar, locally-owned family businesses.
Produced to Order
The SAS Alumni Store is the first US business to domestically produce official merchandise for an international school not located in America and sell to a global alumni community spanning 6 decades.
With the exception of Shop Now items, all our products are custom made and produced to order.
Yes, it does take longer. But it's worth it.
Sort of like flying to Singapore ...
