Shared Values

 

Selecting the right school for your child is an important decision. At SMA, our goal is to provide an informative and inspiring experience that leaves you feeling confident, secure, and excited to join our community. We invite prospective families to attend one of our Admissions Events.

Learn about SMA's unique programs, including the Leader in Me initiative at the middle school, which enhances our Military Studies curriculum and reinforces Army core values. This program complements the JROTC foundation at the high school level, blending character and leadership development with academic engagement in a supportive environment that nurtures the whole child.

The best school! I made the best decision to enroll my children at Prep and the High School. All the teachers are amazing and I just couldn’t be happier with this school. Staff and educators are passionate people who love their jobs and most of all love our children!
