What TMI Episcopal does

TMI Episcopal is an independent, coeducational, college-preparatory school in San Antonio, Texas, serving approximately 640 students in grades 6-12 with a 198-member faculty and staff at a 9:1 student-faculty ratio. Founded in 1893 by the Rt. Rev. James Steptoe Johnston as the West Texas School for Boys, the school became coeducational in 1972 and relocated to its current 80-86 acre hilltop campus in northwest San Antonio in 1989. Sponsored by the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas, it is the oldest Episcopal Church-sponsored college-preparatory school in the Southwest. The school operates both day and boarding programs (5-day, 7-day, and international boarding) and offers 30+ AP and Honors courses including 24 AP classes, with a reported 100% graduation rate.

The school's core offerings include signature programs: TMI Pathways (Business + Entrepreneurship and Innovation + Design tracks), the Corps of Cadets JROTC (designated 'Honor Unit with Distinction' and the only Episcopal school JROTC in the nation), Arts + Innovation anchored by the Walker Innovation Center, Panther Athletics (21 sports, 55+ teams), comprehensive four-year college counseling, and student support services. Technology infrastructure includes a BYOD laptop program for grades 6-12 (excluding Chromebooks), Yondr Pouches for cell phone management, interactive whiteboards in every classroom, and operational platforms such as onCampus (Finalsite) for the student information system, Clarity for financial aid, SSAT for admissions, Blackbaud and Raiser's Edge NXT for fundraising, Onecause for events, and SAGE Dining for food services.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual tuition: $29,455 for middle school day students, $33,000 for upper school day students, and $59,700-$65,480 for boarding options. The nonprofit supplements tuition with philanthropic revenue streams including The TMI Fund (annual giving), capital campaigns (2026 Fund-A-Need targeting $2 million for Upper Field renovation), endowed and non-endowed scholarship funds (over $518,000 last fiscal year), and planned giving. Customer acquisition is relationship-driven through campus tours, student shadow visits, admission previews, and parent-to-parent referral networks, with international student recruitment via SSAT SAO.
