About

The SMA Fund provides necessary funding above and beyond tuition to ensure a preeminent educational student experience and will focus on three priority areas of impact:

Faculty Excellence and Distinction

Attracting, retaining, and developing top-tier teachers who deliver inspirational educational experiences and instill a sense of purpose, curiosity, and ambition in SMA students.

Examples of this priority area in action might include professional development, faculty bonuses, recruitment, and ensuring low student-teacher ratios.

Elevated Academic Enrichment

Sparking students’ curiosity beyond the classroom through enhanced course offerings, programmatic innovations, STEAM curriculum, and experiential learning.

This might include STEAM initiatives, MakerSpaces, enhanced course offerings, experiential learning, field trips, enhanced programmatic innovations, and more!

Signature Student Experience

Nurturing the whole student through investment in the arts, athletics, leadership, clubs, and adventures.

This priority area in action could include athletics enhancements, clubs, student trips, musicals and plays, field days, and more.
