Welcome, 8th Grade Parents!
You've made it! Whether your son has been here for 10 years or just for one, 8th grade is a special year at San Antonio Academy. Each cadet will grow more in 8th grade as a person than any other year at The Academy.
As an eighth grade parent, there are new responsibilities for you and your son. To help navigate this journey, we've created a spot where you can access various resources: 8th Grade Class Representatives:Cris Bregman / Julie Peeler |

High School Transcripts and Teacher Recommendations
Please note: If your son is taking the ISEE, we would like a copy for our records. Please instruct your son to fill in our name as one of the schools designated to receive a copy (you get six free copies) and please forward a copy to us when you receive the scores. Since the ISEE is very different from the Standardized Achievement Test, feel free to call Gary Marvin to learn how to interpret the scores.
High School Transition
San Antonio is a test site for the Independent Schools Entrance Examination (ISEE). The ISEE Test is designed for students in grades five through eleven who may be interested in admission to local or regional independent schools. St. Mary's Hall and TMI require that their students take the ISEE test and other local private schools, such as Central Catholic High School, administer their own testing.
The ISEE test will be offered at San Antonio Academy on the dates listed below. Registration for the tests close 2-3 weeks before the test date. SAA is only a test site, and not responsible for registration; students register directly with the testing agency: ISEE . If you have any questions, please contact Gary Marvin (ISEE Test Administrator). ISEE Test Dates at SAA
