How do I enroll in SAS?

SAS is open to all students of LAUSD who are committed to high academic achievement and who meet the eligibility criteria.

For students who reside within Garfield High School's attendance boundaries

If your school of residence has the SAS designation, you do not apply for SAS participation through the Choices process. No formal application is required for a qualified student who resides within the school's boundaries. Your child's eligibility will be verified at the SAS site through District records and articulation with the sending school.

For students who reside outside Garfield High School's attendance boundaries

You may complete the application online at apply.lausd.net or the Choices brochure contains the application for SAS sites. Students who reside outside of Garfield's attendance boundaries would then attend Garfield SAS through a permit.

If a student wants to attend the SAS program and Verification of Eligibility ("giftedness") has not been determined, the student/family/sending school must complete the Verification of Eligibility before enrolling. Incoming freshmen and their parents/guardians are encouraged to attend an orientation meeting before the beginning of the new school year, which will provide additional information. For information on when and where this meeting will be held, please contact SAS Coordinator, Ms. Elizabeth Ruff, at [email protected].
