Graduate SUCCESS
The Graduate Success Program provides a wide range of services to support the continued growth and development of San Miguel Academy students beyond middle school. High school placement and guidance through the college process, along with exploration of other post-secondary pathways, form the foundation of the Program. Students receive individualized support as they consider a variety of options, including college, military service, trade schools, and certification programs that offer strong career opportunities.
School visits, test preparation, tutoring, mentoring, wellness support, career counseling, and internship assistance are all integral components of the Graduate Success Program.
In addition to these ongoing services, the Program provides up to $5,000 in financial support to all San Miguel Academy graduates enrolled in secondary education programs. While many graduates receive substantial tuition assistance through scholarships and financial aid, gaps often remain in tuition and related expenses. This support helps ensure students have access to the opportunities they have worked hard to achieve.
Through the Graduate Success Program, San Miguel Academy remains actively involved in students’ lives long after graduation. The Program supports first-generation learners and their families by helping them navigate the high school and college admissions process, including conversations about financial planning, the value of education, and setting realistic goals for the future.

ISEE Preparation Classes
San Miguel Academy students participate in review classes for the ISEE (Independent School Entrance Examination), a requirement for admission to many independent day and boarding schools. Students across all grade levels engage in ongoing test preparation with the support of Test Innovators, an online learning platform.
Through Test Innovators, students complete practice exams that are analyzed to create individualized preparation plans tailored to each student’s strengths and areas for growth. Students are provided dedicated time during the school day to work on preparation and also have access to the program outside of school for continued practice and support.
