Mission Statement

St. Martin of Tours Academy fosters confidence, curiosity, and independence through a climate of cooperation and trust by preserving dignity throughout the learning process, accentuating all children’s God-given gifts in a Catholic environment.

Dear SMA Community,


The excitement of a brand new school year is palpable! Our students are not only returning to school, they are returning to their school family. Many of our classes are eager to welcome new members to their classes.


Many students are blessed to be returning to their school family this year thanks to SMA financial aid donors. Life's circumstances can change unexpectedly, and sometimes families find themselves struggling to afford the Catholic education they cherish at SMA.


After distributing all the financial aid raised at last year's gala last April, we are launching a new initiative called "Sponsor a Spartan" to support students who are facing financial hardships due to evolving circumstances. Currently, we are seeking sponsorships for two students; one has already received 50% of the amount needed. These students and their families will not know who their sponsors are unless the sponsor wishes to make their identity known.


We invite our community to help by becoming sponsors. If you or someone you know is interested in making a significant impact through this tax-deductible opportunity, please click here. Your support will profoundly affect the life of a child and ensure they can continue their journey at SMA. Thank you!


"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven" ~Matthew 5:16


You can always visit the DONATE button 24/7.


Summer Blessings,

Dear Academy Families,


It has been an absolute pleasure to have served this school community for almost 30 years. Working in the school office has allowed me to know you and your children, as well as alumni children! Recently, the school purchased a garden bench which was presented at a retirement reception in June. Thank you to the PTG and all who came by. I felt blessed and grateful to be with all of you. I will miss you! When you are in the garden, I hope you enjoy sitting awhile and enjoying the peace and beauty of SMA's garden. -Anne Pacheco

Alumni Update!

My unique and varied experiences and perspectives of Workshop Way and St. Martin of Tours Academy have significantly shaped my career in education. I attended SMA from 1990-199, where I met two of my lifelong best friends and developed countless relationships—these formative years at SMA laid the foundation for my educational pursuits and career. I graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelor's in Child and Family Development. I obtained my teaching credential and served at St. Martin of Tours Academy as a 4th-grade teacher from 2009-2014 and parent from 2010-2014.
