While academics are the primary focus of each weekday at the Academy, the SMA international school Experience is much more than books and grades four our students here 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.
Through the boarding school experience, students develop time management, independence, teamwork, and other skills that serve them well after graduation here in the US.
The Christian Ministries program is foundational to our core values at San Marcos Academy, providing the means through which we share our faith in Jesus Christ and prepare students to be successful, compassionate servant leaders.
