Campus Life
While academics are the primary focus of each weekday at the Academy, the SMA Experience is much more than books and grades. As a top boarding school in Texas, our desire is to see each student develop as a whole person: mentally, socially, physically and spiritually. To further this process, we provide a variety of experiences and opportunities outside the classroom.
Academics
The academics program at San Marcos Academy is designed to prepare our students for success in college and in life. Our faculty and staff are dedicated to meeting the individual needs of each student, presenting content through the prism of a Christian worldview. San Marcos Academy has three academic divisions: a Lower School (grades K-5), a Middle School (grades 6-8) and an Upper School (grades 9-12).
Athletics
Academy coaches place a higher value on how an athlete plays than on the outcome of a game; sportsmanship, integrity, and character on the field or court are the values that characterize a winner at San Marcos Academy. SMA offers 12 different sports as well as top-quality athletic facilities on our spacious, hill country campus.
