The Academy educates boys to succeed in life - scholastically, emotionally and physically. Boys learn that integrity, pride in achievement and kindness are as important as their scholastic work.  At The Academy boys are taught to be honest, be kind and to be the best they can be.

San Antonio Academy Curriculum

San Anton Academy's curriculum provides a strong foundation of academic skills. Students study reading, language arts, social studies, math, science, and foreign language. Fine arts, music, integrated technology, library/research skills and physical education broaden their perspective. We believe that a good education should teach students:

• to solve problems; i.e., to think analytically
• to express themselves clearly, correctly and cogently
• to become task-committed and self-disciplined

San Antonio Academy uses Renweb, an online information management system that allows you to access your son's vital school data, including his report card grades, via a secure and confidential parent-student portal.

After School Programs

When classes end in the afternoon, a new action-packed day begins as older and younger guys alike work in the computer lab, head toward the music building, study in the library, participate on one of the many athletic teams, play intramural basketball, learn strategy in chess class, expand their horizons with the Young Astronauts or attend tutorials and enrichment classes.

The Academy provides a wide array of afterschool activities for its students because these activities give our boys another opportunity to grow and learn. Afterschool activities foster self-confidence as the participants master new skills and learn how to be a part of a team.

The Academy offers programs in soccer, basketball, cross-country, track, lacrosse, tennis, golf, fencing and karate. In addition, intramural sports provide a less competitive athletic program.

The music program is also in full swing after school. Students take piano, brass, woodwind or voice lessons, and have the opportunity to participate in concert choir. These groups perform several times a year on campus and around the city.

The computer lab is also a very popular place as boys explore new programs or work on assignments. SAA has over 175 computers designated for instructional purposes and updates its computer hardware and software each year.

Extra help is provided for boys who wish to get an early start on their homework. Many teachers are on campus after school to give additional help to students..

For prekindergarten through second grade students, a supervised afterschool program is in place until 5:30 p.m.

The year 'round after school enrichment program attracts boys and girls from all over the city. Enrichment courses cover a variety of topics, including Young Astronauts, chess, Spanish,  ceramics, model rockety, science and sports.

After school activities have become part of SAA's culture, bonding our boys even closer to The Academy and futhering the sense of family that is the heart of the school. Our guys feel like they belong here, and they want to hang around after classes end.
