Welcome to St. Michael's School

Since our founding in 1958, balance has been at the center of a St. Michael’s education. Guided by our vision of excelling in innovative teaching and learning in a community of wellness, belonging, and joy, we emphasize personal care for the whole child, helping and nurturing each student to grow and develop intellectually, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. In short, we educate—as our Mission clearly states—in mind, body, and spirit to prepare our students for lives of meaning and purpose.

In the longstanding tradition of Episcopal schools, we are committed to building our students’ capacity for success through a comprehensive, demanding curriculum (core academics, performing and visual arts, world language, and athletics) while developing their foundations in faith and service, integrity and leadership, and health and well-being.

Today we educate ~300 students from diverse backgrounds, in preschool through eighth grade, on a beautiful three-acre campus in central Tucson, inspired by the visionary architect Josias Joesler and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

As head of school and the proud parent of three children who have attended St. Michael’s, I encourage you to come and see for yourselves the creativity, civility, and joy that distinguish St. Michael’s as an excellent choice for independent schools in Tucson.

For now, we welcome you to learn more about the people and programs that make St. Michael’s such a special place. Of particular interest to prospective families, we offer our Gratitude Report Viewbook, showcasing the generosity and kindness of the St. Michael’s community during this past 2024-2025 academic year.

Sincerely,

Brendan J. Sullivan
Head of School
