Shirleen Zacharias Early Clge Leadership Academy

Somerset is a small, tight-knit community on the rural southern edge of San Antonio, where families tend to know their neighbors and take pride in local institutions. The Zacharias Early College Leadership Academy stands out for its remarkable strength in English and Science, giving students a genuine academic foundation alongside early college opportunities that can be rare at schools this size. Families drawn to a quieter, community-rooted setting who want their kids on a college-bound track — without the frenzy of larger suburban districts — will find a lot to like here, even as the school continues to build out its math programming.
