"Honoring our Tradition... Investing in the Future" 

Thanks to over 200 donors, in just three years, The Academy’s endowment campaign raised $10.2 million for endowment.  

Endowment operates like an investment account keeping the school strong for future generations. Each year the school draws income from the endowment – 4% of the twelve-month average. That income supplements the operating budget, taking pressure off tuition. The need for endowment is on-going at The Academy. 

San Antonio Academy has an Investment Policy which ensures the most effective investment and spending activities. 

SAA’s key endowment priorities are:

§         Teaching Excellence

o        Supplements faculty salaries, which enable The Academy to attract and retain the best teachers in San Antonio.

o        Supports continuous educational opportunities for faculty.

§         Scholarship Endowment Funds

o        Allow The Academy to continue to enroll a diverse student body and provide need-based assistance to students.

§         Technology Endowment

o        Provides timely hardware and infrastructure upgrades, new software programs and teacher training to keep pace with the rapid changes in technology.

§         Campus Endowment

o        Provides flexibility and capability in doing what needs to be done to enhance learning environments and beautify the buildings and grounds for present and future generations.

§         General Endowment

o        Allows the Board and staff flexibility to respond to new opportunities and challenges.
