Through small class sizes, students benefit from close guidance as they engage in interdisciplinary projects, experiential learning, intramurals, and community service, all fostering a strong sense of brotherhood. A unique third-semester program provides opportunities for real-world learning, preparing students for future success both academically and personally.

At St. Augustine, strong teacher-student bonds spark curiosity and a love for learning. In the Unitas program, students and families are paired with faculty advisors for guidance over four years. The Habitudes: Growing Leaders Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum teaches life skills through imagery, stories, and activities, aimed at building self-discipline, time management, and a confident self-image.

The Third Semester program at St. Augustine transforms learning by immersing Prep students in real-world experiences. Through international travel, hands-on professional work, social impact projects, or focused academic research, students go beyond the classroom to gain global perspectives and practical skills. This program inspires students to expand their understanding of the world and uncover their potential to make a meaningful impact.
