The St. Michaels University School Class of 2026 is 156 graduates strong, bringing together 84 day students and 72 boarding students from 14 countries around the world. Collectively, they received 760 university offers from 158 institutions across 10 countries and received more than $3 Million in scholarship offers.
Whether they began their SMUS journey in Kindergarten, as one of the 19 Lifers in this class, or joined the community more recently, every one of these Class of 2026 graduates crossed the stage together.
Climbing onto the school bus on Nov. 24, nineteen Grade 12 students were about to take a trip down memory lane. Their destination was the Junior School, where the annual Lifers assembly celebrates graduating students who first joined St. Michaels University School in Kindergarten or Grade 1. Many were looking forward to the moment when this year’s Kindergarten students would present them with the familiar red polo shirts that mark the Kindergarten year at SMUS, a small but meaningful reminder of where their SMUS journey began.
