The Journal of Student Academic Research (JSAR) is the publishing arm of Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy's Research Program. Throughout their four-year research curriculum, Flintridge Sacred Heart students develop increasing depth and expertise in the practice of research. Juniors and Seniors are eligible to publish the results of their research, which is guided by their interest, mentors and social justice. Papers published on JSAR represent the work, views and opinions of the student researchers, and do not necessarily reflect the position of the Academy.
