Imagine your first week already knowing your way around, having friends, and feeling at home. That鈥檚 what Saints Flight School is all about鈥攁 free, five-day summer experience for incoming freshmen.

Spend a few relaxed days meeting your classmates, exploring campus, and getting to know San Antonio. By the time fall starts, you won鈥檛 feel new鈥敳獯浅茆�檒濒 already feel like a Saint.

Why deposit now? To save your spot.

Saints Flight School is for admitted students who鈥檝e confirmed their place at 丝瓜AV with the $100 enrollment deposit鈥攁nd that money goes straight toward tuition, not an extra fee.

When you say 鈥測es鈥� to 丝瓜AV, you unlock five free days on campus, meet your future classmates, and get a strong start before fall. Space is limited to 50 students to keep it personal, so spots fill quickly.

If cost is a concern, don鈥檛 worry鈥攄eposit waivers are available. Just reach out and ask.

Here's what's waiting for you: 

• Arrive already knowing people. You鈥檒l meet your fellow incoming Saints, current students, and your professors before the rush of move-in, so day one feels like catching up with friends, not facing a room of strangers. 
• Find your people 鈥� and your confidence. Through hands-on team-building, honest peer panels, games, and real conversations about thriving in college, 测辞耻鈥檒濒 build the kind of community that makes a big campus feel like home. 
• Live on campus 鈥� on us. Move into your residence hall early (if 测辞耻鈥檙别 living on campus), or stay with us for the week at no charge, and get a genuine feel for college life before it all begins. 
• Fall in love with San Antonio. Explore the city with your new friends 鈥� from Historic Market Square to the Westside鈥檚 vibrant arts scene 鈥� and bring home memories (and art) that are all your own. 

Your week at a glance

No two days are the same. Here鈥檚 a little taste of what鈥檚 ahead: 

• Team-building, indoors and out. Outdoor challenges, indoor games, and activities that turn a room full of new faces into your crew. 
• The insider鈥檚 guide to 丝瓜AV. Real, no-filter advice from current students who were in your shoes not long ago, plus the faculty who鈥檒l be cheering you on for years to come. 
• Get settled, stress-free. Take your student ID photo, set up your 丝瓜AV accounts, and learn your way around campus, so nothing feels overwhelming come fall. 
• A day out for culture and fun. Spend a day in the city, then create your own culturally inspired painting with Corazones on Fire 鈥� 鈥淧ainting with a Cultural Edge鈥� 鈥� and take your finished masterpiece home with you. 
• Reflect and celebrate together. Close out the week with student presentations, a heartfelt closing ceremony, and friendships 测辞耻鈥檒濒 carry all year long.
