Summary: The academics program at San Marcos Academy is designed to prepare our students for success in college and in life. Our faculty and staff are dedicated to meeting the individual needs of each student, presenting content through the prism of a Christian worldview. In fulfilling our mission to educate young men and women within a nurturing community based upon Christian values, the Academy staff and faculty are also mindful of our vision statement: producing leaders whose lives are built on integrity, a strong moral compass, a total commitment to life-long learning, and who exemplify Christ’s devotion to service and his compassionate concern for others.” In order to more fully realize that vision, the Academy has joined about 50 other schools worldwide who follow the “Teaching for Transformation” (TfT) curricular model. The TfT program provides a framework in which students not only learn about God’s story, but also discover their place within that story. Through authentic and transformational Christian learning experiences, students at all grade levels are exposed to discipleship concepts such as worship, truth, justice, service, and community.
