Academics
Overview
At St. Augustine Prep, we prepare students for college and beyond with a vibrant, well-rounded academic program rooted in the Catholic Augustinian tradition! Over four dynamic years, students dive into STEAM and Humanities courses, gaining the tools needed to tackle today’s challenges head-on. Our mission-driven curriculum is a perfect mix of traditional learning, hands-on experiences, and innovative thinking—all through the lens of our core Augustinian values.
Students can explore varied study options to tailor their learning journey! We offer classes on three levels: College Preparatory, Honors (32 courses), and Advanced Placement (16 courses). Plus, many upper-level courses come with the exciting opportunity for dual credit through our partnership with Camden County Community College. At the Prep, students are required to take a minimum of seven academic subjects each year, with freshmen taking eight to kickstart their high school experience.
"As you look inside our classrooms, you only see part of the picture of our academic excellence."
