Austin Preparatory School

An Austin Prep education is preparation for the journey of life. It’s not the formal curriculum, however, that prepares students to go the distance. It’s the unwritten curriculum of veritas, unitas, and caritas (truth, unity, love) that Austin Prep imprints on the hearts of graduates that guides them on their inner journey. "At Austin Prep, we are on a journey that is life-changing and important," says Head of School James Hickey, Ph.D. "Our patron, St. Augustine, embarked on a journey for the truth. At our core is an institution on the same journey, committed to exemplary teaching and learning." The school’s academic program for young men and women covers grades

6–12. This extended time allows the school to offer wide-ranging opportunities for academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth at critical stages of a student’s adolescent development. Community has always been at the core of an Augustinian education, and is one of the most important focuses of Austin Prep’s approach to education.
