Education

School Swap: Advanced Studies To Replace Haas Hall At Historic Lane Hotel

Haas Hall will relocate its campus from Downtown Rogers at the end of this school year, but the Lane Hotel won’t be vacant for long. Arkansas School for Advanced Studies plans to open its doors in the historic building in August for the 2024-25 school year.

  • Moving Out: This summer, Haas Hall Academy will transition its Rogers campus from the historic Lane Hotel to a more centralized location at The Peaks office building at 2807 Ajax Avenue, closer to I-49.

  • Moving In: Advanced Studies features a seminar-based learning style where students choose majors to guide their studies: fine arts, humanities, or math and science. The tuition-free, public charter school will launch with grades 5-12 starting with the 2024-25 school year. Prospective parent meetings are planned for Mar 12 and 27.
