Middle School

View 2014-2015 Year End Report

Students are admitted to San Miguel based on the following criteria:

  1. They are a family member of current students or graduates
  2. They are academically at-risk students – behind in core subjects of reading, math, and literacy
  3. Their families are economically challenged.

All families commit to paying monthly tuition- What they can afford is typically only 5% of the total cost to educate each child. Through donations and community support every student receives a scholarship.

Many students enter San Miguel one or more grade levels behind but graduate at or above grade level- improving 4-6 grade levels in just three years. The success of our students comes from their hard work coupled with a strong program model:

  • Small Class sizes (1:10 teacher to student ratio)
  • Extended School Days
  • Extended School yearIMG_6231
  • Built-in extra-curriculars through the Renaissance Program (arts, exercise, leadership, cooking and much more)
  • Faith-based education
  • BIST behavior management system centered on care and concern for the whole child
  • Strong Focus on Reading
  • Individualized approach to education- meeting each student where they are through individualized instruction.
  • Partnership with parents and families
  • Field trips and college exposure trips
  • Graduate support program to help prepare for the high school application process.
