The admissions process starts with a campus visit. Come walk the halls, meet the teachers, and see if SMA is the right fit for your family.
We know choosing a school for your family is one of the biggest decisions you'll make. That's why our admissions process starts the same way every time: with a campus visit. Walk the halls. Meet a teacher. Watch a practice. Ask the hard questions. Then decide.
Full continuous curriculum from age 4 through senior year. Small classes (avg 14:1 ratio), AP and honors offerings, athletics starting in middle school.
5-day and 7-day boarding options with dorms, community meals, evening study, and weekend activities. Students from across Texas, the U.S., and internationally.
Need-based financial aid available for qualifying families through our partnership with FACTS Tuition Management. About 30% of SMA families receive some form of aid.
We accept applications year-round for qualifying grades. Priority application review begins in January for the following school year.
Day tuition ranges from $10,250 (PreK) to $15,000 (Upper School). Boarding tuition (grades 6-12) ranges from $42,740 (5-day) to $63,240 (international 7-day). Every family receives a detailed cost breakdown as part of admissions.
