Mission Statement
St. Michael the Archangel Academy (SMAA)supports the primary right and duty of parents to choose the form of education for their children. SMAA assists them in their choice of a Christ-centered education that fosters the art and love of learning. We encourage member families to support and minister to each other within the wider support of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.

Philosophy

"Parents have a most grave duty and enjoy the primary right of educating to the very best of their ability, their children physically, socially, and culturally and morally and religiously as well."

Code of Canon Law of 1983, Canon 1136

The fecundity of conjugal love cannot be reduced solely to the procreation of children, but must extend to their moral education and their spiritual formation. The role of the parents in education is of such importance that it is almost impossible to provide an adequate substitute. The rights and the duty of parents to educate their children are primordial and inalienable.

1. St. Michael the Archangel Academy is an association of Catholic families engaged in classical education.
2. Faith in our Lord Jesus Christ is at the heart of all Christian endeavors, especially those involving the family.
3. Fidelity to the Magisterium of the Church and to the Pope and Bishops is necessary to maintain a Catholic identity.
4. One of the principal aims of marriage is the bearing and raising of children as an expression of spousal love.
5. Parents have the primary right and duty of educating their children. They also have the right to choose a suitable means of accomplishing this education.
6. The families of St. Michael the Archangel Academy have chosen an alternative style of education, with the understanding that parents are most competent persons to determine the true needs and talents of their children.
7. The parents have the consequent responsibility of ensuring that their children are equipped to be responsible members of society and committed disciples of Christ in the Church.
8. Parents, moreover, have the right and duty to educate their children in the Faith. This is accomplished through the witness of their lives, by creating an atmosphere of faith in the home, by teaching their children to pray, and leading them to the sacraments. Instruction in doctrine is necessary for the growth and nourishment of their children's faith.
9. St. Michael the Archangel Academy exists to provide a means for member families to support and minister to each other within the wider support that each family finds in the Church.
10. Besides spiritual support for each other, SMAA provides opportunities for socialization, curriculum development and enrichment, and other means of meeting the unique needs of Catholic alternative education.
