MURIEL FORBES EL

Muriel Forbes Academy, located on Sally Gay Drive in San Antonio, Texas, is a specialized educational facility within the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD). It is categorized as a Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP), designed to serve students who have been removed from their home campuses due to violations of the district’s Student Code of Conduct. The academy provides a structured environment where students can continue their core academic coursework while focusing on behavioral redirection and the development of social-emotional skills necessary for a successful return to their traditional school settings.

The school operates with a primary emphasis on maintaining academic continuity and fostering student accountability. By providing a smaller, more controlled setting, Muriel Forbes Academy allows for more individualized attention, enabling teachers to help students stay on track with their graduation requirements despite their disciplinary status. The ultimate goal of the academy is to serve as a transitional bridge, helping students address the issues that led to their placement while preparing them to reintegrate into the general education population with the tools needed to make better behavioral choices in the future.
