San Antonio’s Only Dual-Language Catholic School Adds New Outdoor STEM Lab

Alamo City Moms Blog is excited to partner with St. Mary Magdalen School to bring you information about their education program. This is a sponsored post.

With so many education options to choose from in San Antonio, we wanted to share some important information about Saint Mary Magdalen School, an innovative, dual language, affordable, growing, and dynamic Catholic School centrally located in our great city. Here are five great reasons to consider SMMS for your child’s education needs:

1. SMMS is the ONLY dual language Catholic school in San Antonio. As the first dual language Catholic school in Texas, SMMS has been implementing the highly regarded Gomez and Gomez model for nearly a decade. Students become biliterate and bilingual in a loving, rigorous classroom setting.

2. SMMS provides pre-K to PhD pathways through its unique university partnerships. SMMS has partnered with three universities—The University of Texas at San Antonio, the University of Incarnate Word, and Boston College—to ensure a highly effective dual language program that prepares students for college, post-college, and career. SMMS students are part of UIW’s Brainpower Connection, Boston College’s Two-Way Immersion Network for Catholic Schools, and UTSA’s focus on high-quality bilingual and multicultural educational programming.

3. SMMS students enjoy regular use of an outdoor STEM lab. SMMS students enjoy the benefits of learning outside in a lab that infuses STEM activities and dual language education into one fantastic setting.

4. Sixty different ZIP codes are represented among the student body at SMMS. The linguistic, socioeconomic, and geographic diversity of SMMS is undeniably vibrant and beneficial for our students. SMMS is proud to have a robustly diverse group of Maverick families and students.

5. SMMS is a great alternative to day care. During the academic year, SMMS serves students from ages three and up, and the campus is open to all students from 7:00 A.M.–6:00 P.M. Pre-K students enjoy a rich academic and spiritual curriculum with plenty of room for play and imagination. Tuition is affordable, and there are substantial multi-children discounts.
