As you begin your admissions journey, we invite you to immerse yourself in our vibrant campus community. Because each admissions event offers a distinct look into life at St. Mary's Academy, we encourage families to attend as many as possible throughout the season! Taking a campus tour lets you explore our facility and academic spaces, joining our Open House connects you directly with faculty, coaches, and current parents, and scheduling a shadow day gives your daughter an authentic look at a day in the life of an SMA student. Visiting is the best way to see what makes SMA such a transformative place to learn and grow.
