learning sail
SAIL High School was founded in 1975, partially with the assistance of its current principal, Rosanne Wood. Formerly known as "School for Applied Individualized Learning" and now called "A School for Arts and Innovative Learning", SAIL is an alternative magnet school located in Tallahassee, Florida.
SAIL emphasizes free speech and creative learning. SAIL runs on a block schedule and has a population of about 315 students and a substantial waiting list of students from other Leon County schools who wish to enroll. The school has a high graduation rate and a very low dropout rate, as well as the highest Science FCAT scores in Leon County, for which it was recognized as top high school in the county by former governor Jeb Bush. But now Lawton Chiles High School is taking the lead with higher grades and the different types of arts provided. The only criteria necessary for admission to SAIL is a stated desire on the student's part for a creative, nontraditional learning environment.
