Austin Preparatory School

B+ 4.3 / 5 5 Reviews

Overview

Austin Preparatory School was founded by the Augustinian Fathers of the Province of St. Thomas of Villanova in 1961 and opened to students in September 1963. Austin is, in fact, an abbreviated version of Augustine, so our name does carry on the legacy and acknowledges our debt to St. Augustine and his followers, the Augustinians. Saint Augustine is the School's patron saint, and we strive toward the Augustinian ideal of: "One mind, one heart, intent on God." In 1971 Austin's association with the Augustinians was severed due to declining clergy, and became an incorporated independent school and now operates under the direction of a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees. We offer a rigorous college preparatory education for students in grades 6 through 12. While the school operates as an independent school we still hold close to us the traditions and teachings of our founding order, and continue to share the traditions of an Augustinian school.
