The St. Austin School firmly holds to the Catholic conviction that parents are the first and most enduring educators of their children and that families are a privileged school in which children learn Christian virtues and establish the practice of the Catholic Faith (Catechism, 2223) We endeavor to extend this family environment so that children may increase in wisdom, and in stature, and in favor with God and man. (Luke 2:52)

2. Complete the Application here for Admission
3. Complete the Request for Transcripts form
- Please send this form to your child’s current school requesting that a copy of all transcripts and test scores be sent to The St. Austin School. We need to review these records before your child can be offered admission.
4. Notification of Acceptance
- The signed Tuition Contract and the non-refundable tuition deposit must be submitted online no later than 10 calendar days after notification of acceptance by The St. Austin School, or two business days prior to beginning classes, whichever occurs first.
- If we are not able to offer a position to your child or children, your application fee will be refunded.
Priority in Admissions
Priority in admission will be given to students in the following order:
1. Current studens whose parents complete the Tuition Contract, and submit it with the tuition deposit by the re-enrollment deadline (which is generally in early February). Submission of the signed contract and tuition deposit are necessary to hold your “place” in a form.
2. Siblings of current students whose parents complete the enrollment contract and submit it with the tuition deposit by the re-enrollment deadline. Submission of the signed contract and tuition deposit are necessary to hold your “place” in a form, or, if the form is full, to obtain a priority position on the “deferred candidates” list.
3. New students. The signed tuition contract and the non-refundable tuition deposit are due no later than 10 calendar days after notification of acceptance by The St. Austin School.
If we are not able to offer a position to your child or children, your application fee will be refunded. If your child is accepted, the application fee will be applied to your first tuition payment.
Tuition & Financial Aid
Tuition at The St. Austin School reflects the true cost of education for our children and was determined to ensure the school has a sound, financially sustainable future. Through the generosity of benefactors, we are able to offer financial assistance to families in need.
Details on tuition payment options are in the Tuition Contract.
While The St. Austin School, like many private schools in the area, does not provide direct per-child discounts for families with multiple children, we will happily work with each family to find a tuition solution that works for them. Please note, we now offer lower tuition for younger children (Grades PreK-4) than the tuition for our middle school (Grades 5-8).
