Admissions
Admissions
Admission to San Miguel is not solely determined by academic excellence, but rather we look for boys with great promise. Young men who are not only motivated by the desire to learn, but possess the integrity needed to become a ‘Miguel Man’. San Miguel introduces boys to educational experiences that expand their worldview, as well as creates a safe haven that allows boys to become brothers. San Miguel nurtures the academic, moral, cultural, and social growth for all students, while encouraging each student to discover their own unique talents.
Enrollment
San Miguel serves boys in grades 5 through 8. Those interested in enrolling their child must begin the application process during their son’s 4th grade year. Enrollment in grades 6 through 8 is dependent on a spot becoming available. Most students entering in 5th grade remain enrolled through graduation. However, if you are interested in enrolling your son for grades 6 through 8, we will happily add you to the waiting list to be contacted in the event a spot becomes available.
Financial Contribution
While San Miguel does not charge tuition, all families are required to make a financial contribution toward their child’s education. This contribution reflects a family’s commitment to supporting their child throughout his four years at the school. The exact amount of the contribution, decided by the admissions committee at the school, is based on a percentage of family income and averages $800/year. Most families opt to pay their contribution in monthly installments. In cases of exceptional financial need, this contribution may be waived. We will not turn away a student for financial reasons if we believe he would succeed at San Miguel.
