As autumn settles over the St. Michaels University School campuses and the leaves turn from green to red, a renewed energy fills the air. Classrooms buzz with ideas, music drifts through open doors, and the fields and gyms pulse with cheers and coaches’ calls. Everywhere at SMUS, curiosity, connection, and purpose come vividly to life.
Now is the perfect time to share that spirit with others. On Thursday, October 30, SMUS will host an Open House — a day for prospective families to experience SMUS's vibrant community firsthand. Guests are welcome to visit the SMUS Junior School on Victoria Avenue and/or the Middle and Senior Schools on Richmond Road. On the day, families will get guided tours by students, observe teachers and students in action, and experience the warmth and energy that define a SMUS education.
Junior School time slots are 9:00–11:00 a.m. and 1:00–2:30 p.m., while tours at the Middle and Senior School run from 9:00–11:00 a.m. and 1:00–3:00 p.m.
Experience SMUS in Action
An Open House offers a glimpse into daily life at SMUS, where learning extends far beyond the classroom. Visitors will meet passionate educators, explore engaging spaces filled with creativity and collaboration, and hear directly from student ambassadors whose enthusiasm captures the heart of the school.
At SMUS, education is about more than academics—it’s about nurturing character, curiosity, and community. The Open House invites families to see this balance in motion: the laughter in hallways, the focus in labs and art studios, and the sense of belonging that ties it all together.
How You Can Help
As valued members of the SMUS community, we invite you to help us share this special event. Do you know families who might be curious about SMUS — perhaps friends, colleagues, or neighbours looking for a school that inspires excellence and fosters belonging? Encourage them to join us on October 30 and experience the warmth, passion, and purpose of SMUS for themselves.
The SMUS community extends far and wide, and together we know families around the world who may be searching for an exceptional day or boarding school experience. SMUS families bring SMUS families. Encourage a potential family to connect with the SMUS Admissions team at [email protected]. — they’re always happy to answer questions and guide families through each step of the journey.
Admissions for the 2026–2027 school year are now open, and assessments begin soon. Families interested in SMUS are encouraged to apply early this fall, as space in some grades is limited.
Why Share About SMUS?
By inviting others to SMUS's Open House, you are introducing them to a supportive, time-honoured community where each student is encouraged to discover strengths, stretch ambition, and define excellence on their own terms. You’re sharing a school where tradition meets innovation, where care and challenge work hand in hand, and where students grow through meaningful experiences that shape both character and confidence. Together, let’s continue to nurture the community that makes SMUS a place of enduring excellence and belonging.
