  With its proud traditions, its record of academic research and athletic excellence and its status as the third largest university in the nation, Texas A&M University could have no better home than Bryan-College Station. Fall 2001 enrollment was a record 44,618. Texas A&M is expected to continue to rank among the five largest universities in the nation, but comparative figures are not yet available for the current academic year. It was the fastest growing university in the nation until an enrollment-management plan was initiated to maintain high standards of teaching excellence.

TAMU ranks among the top dozen U.S. institutions in enrollment of new National Merit Scholars. Overall student body includes about 700 National Merit Scholars.

From its early focus on agricultural and mechanical studies, it has expanded to encompass 10 colleges offering 151 fields of undergraduate study, 147 at the masters level, 105 at the doctoral level and two professional degrees: doctor of medicine and doctor of veterinary medicine.
  
  In 1995, A&M added a $36.4 million Student Recreation Center to its campus. The center includes a state-of-the-art natatorium that has already hosted national swim meets. In the fall of 1996, A&M joined the Big 12 Conference, lending its name to significant exposure. In November of 1997, one of the most significant events since the founding of the university was the opening of the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum which continues to attract large numbers of visitors to the area.

All levels of the pre-school program help to lay the groundwork for a successful transition into Kindergarten and beyond. The curriculum for each class is specifically designed toward the interests and developmental stages of each child. The importance of play is also recognized and is used in fostering learning, critical thinking and self-expression.

The Junior and Senior Kindergartens blend learning centers with teacher-directed instruction and reinforced practice. Students learn to enjoy school as a place where they are academically stimulated and valued as individuals. Reading and math skills are approached through direct teaching, individual and small group activities, and interactive learning games. Both programs focus on mutual respect and concern for one another through sharing and appropriate expression of feelings and needs.

Lower and Upper school programs are designed to prepare students for entrance into the nations most competitive universities. The traditional, college preparatory curriculum emphasizes science, mathematics, classic literature and foreign languages. Beyond the classroom, St. Michaels offers abundant opportunities for students to explore and expand their talents. Students compete in a variety of arenas at the regional and national levels. These include fairs, robotics, fine arts, and interscholastic academic competitions.
