This lovely home is zoned for John A. Crookshank Elementary, R.J. Murray Middle School, and St. Augustine High School. Both R.J. Murray and St. Augustine High School offer the Cambridge Advanced Studies Program for exceptional students (officially the University of Cambridge International School), as well as being magnet schools for drama and the arts. SAHS has additional magnet programs including aeronautics, law, police and first responder, and Army JROTC. SA Realty Broker Sean Hess, a volunteer at all three of these schools, states, “I have volunteered as a mentor in all three of these schools and find the staffs excellent. They know the kids and carefully monitor their progress; I would be proud to send my kids to any of these schools.”

Private and peaceful, this small community is tucked away and out of sight.
