Five Marks of St. Augustine School

Catholic Liberal Education

1

Knowledge is one whole, not a pile of separate subjects, and our students learn to see each part in light of the rest.


Sacramental Life

2

The day turns on prayer and the week on the Mass, and the rest of our work follows from there.


Single-Sex Classes

3

Boys and girls learn differently, so we teach them separately; it's an old idea that the research keeps confirming.


Daily Common Arts Class

4

Every afternoon the boys and girls come back together for the arts, which turn out to be where much of our friendship is formed.


Low-Tech Learning

5

We teach with books, pencils and conversation, because attention is the first thing a student needs and the first thing a screen takes away.
