Academics

Teacher with students

At The St. Austin School, each child is encouraged to develop socially, intellectually, and spiritually at his optimum pace. We strive to involve each child in active and independent learning. Emphasis is placed on the essential skills of literacy, numeracy, and religious instruction. These are worked out through a varied and exciting curriculum which we believe is both broad and balanced and is intended to help children engage with the greatest ideas found in the best books.

The academic program at The St. Austin School is outlined comprehensively in our 2023-24 Prospectus.

Our school is organized into Forms for Lower and Middle School:
