Where Boyhood is Celebrated
Since 1886, The Academy has done more than prepare boys for high school. We educate them to succeed in life – scholastically, emotionally, and physically. All aspects of the SAA experience are focused on the educational and developmental needs of boys. In other words, we know boys.
Academy Boys graduate with a strong academic foundation, a positive self-image, strong leadership skills, and much more. Boys learn that integrity, pride in achievement, and kindness are as important as their scholastic work, and what it truly means to be a gentleman.
At The Academy, boys are taught to Be honest. Be kind. Be the best they can be.®
Admissions Process
We welcome you to visit our campus located in the historic Monte Vista neighborhood of San Antonio. The admissions process is designed for you to get to know us and for us to get to know you. We're eager to meet you!

A visit to campus could be the start of something great! You may schedule a tour to learn more about each of our programs: Primary School (Pre-K—2nd Grade), Elementary School (3rd—5th Grade), or Middle School (6th—8th Grade).
Affording The Academy Experience
An Academy education can make a difference for every boy who experiences it. Thanks to our generous Academy community, we’re able to offer tuition assistance to qualified students demonstrating need.

Hear from our Parent Ambassadors as they tell us about their Academy experience.
The McNelis Family
The real magic of SAA starts to become apparent as the boys mature into more leadership on campus. It’s an investment that will pay off for your entire family.
The Rohlfs Family
Beyond the education (which is excellent), each of my sons are known, uplifted and cherished for their individual talents and personalities.
In addition to the strong academics, San Antonio Academy has a high focus on strong character development, while showing great care for all the boys. It’s been the best place for our son. – Chip Nicewander, Class of ’26 & ’31 Parent
