Common Questions

Do you accept transfer students?
Do you have programs for students with learning differences?

Do you accept transfer students?

Yes! If your daughter is currently in high school, she may apply to transfer to SMA. Applications will be considered on a space-available basis for entry in the fall or at the start of second semester in late January. Transfer students must show a successful completion of appropriate number of credit hours for current status to reach fulfillment of the St. Mary's Academy graduation requirements.

Transfer Student Application Process

Do you have programs for students with learning differences?

We offer a challenging, college-preparatory program aimed at establishing a solid intellectual foundation from which our students can grow and succeed. The school is able to provide reasonable accommodations to students with a wide range of learning differences. We value the parent partnership and request parents disclose learning differences in the admissions application. Understanding a student's learning differences during the application process allows us to provide the best academic support possible. All requested accommodations need to be documented by an outside provider.
