Submit Inquiry

San Antonio Academy accepts students whose overall performance conforms to the school’s mission and standards. In the case of 3rd - 8th grade candidates, it is expected that the students will have a "B" average or higher, standardized testing that conforms to the school’s admissions criteria, and a willingness to participate and contribute to the school’s diverse array of extracurricular programs.

Complete and submit the following documents:

• A completed and signed application (access through The Wildcat Portal - SAA's Blackbaud site)
• A transcript of the child’s schoolwork
• Any available standardized testing
• At least one recommendation from the child’s previous school
  • Pre-K through 1st Grade Recommendation Form
  • 2nd Grade through 8th Grade Recommendation Form

Students who complete the admissions process are interviewed on a first-come, first-served basis, which is determined by the date the application is received by the Admissions Office (this applies to applicants Pre-Kindergarten through 2nd grade).

Applicants for 3rd – 8th grade will no longer be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis. The Admissions Committee will review the pool of candidates and make enrollment decisions. 

Schedule Your Visit

Once an interview has been completed, the applicant’s status is determined by the admissions process. The Admissions Office may recommend that exceptions to the acceptance criteria be made in special cases. Final approval in this and all other matters rests with the Head of School.

Applicants will receive notification of acceptance via The Wildcat Portal (Blackbaud site) of their admissions decision. Please confirm acceptance.

Accepted families may apply for tuition assistance by completing an online application, which requires detailed, itemized financial information. Families should wait to apply for tuition assistance until they have received an enrollment contract.

An independent, neutral service analyzes the applications and provides SAA with an estimate of how much money each family can contribute to its son’s independent school education. All tuition assistance is need-based, confidential, and remains strictly independent of the admissions process.
