Welcome to a new and exciting school year at St. Augustine School! As we embark on this journey together, we are thrilled to introduce you to the many wonderful opportunities and enhancements that await our students. This year marks an important milestone for our school as we embark on a rebranding effort under new leadership, aiming to continue our tradition of excellence while fostering a vibrant and nurturing learning environment.
At the heart of St. Augustine School is a commitment to educating the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. Our small size allows us to know each child personally, fostering a sense of belonging and close relationships that help our students thrive. We are dedicated to providing a well-rounded education that not only challenges students academically but also enriches their creative, emotional, and spiritual development.
This year, we are excited to introduce new programs that reflect the breadth of learning we offer. Our artist residency program, in partnership with The Wallis Annenberg Center for Performing Arts, will give students a unique opportunity to work alongside professional artists, deepening their understanding of the creative arts and nurturing their talents. Additionally, as part of our wellness initiative, we are introducing yoga this year to help students cultivate mindfulness, improve focus, and develop healthy ways to manage stress. This balance of academics, arts, and wellness speaks to our commitment to the whole child’s well-being.
Central to our identity as a Catholic school is our commitment to integrating Catholic Social Teachings into all aspects of our curriculum. By emphasizing the values of compassion, justice, and service, we aim to shape students who are not only successful in the classroom but also prepared to live out their faith through acts of kindness and empathy in their communities.
We also take great pride in celebrating the rich diversity within our school community. St. Augustine School is a place where students from all backgrounds are welcomed and valued, and we strive to create an environment where every child feels respected and loved as a child of God.
As we enter this new chapter, our rebranding reflects our growth and our enduring commitment to providing an exceptional Catholic education. To our current families, thank you for being an integral part of our community. To our new families, we extend a heartfelt welcome and look forward to building meaningful relationships with you and your children.
Here’s to a fantastic year of discovery, creativity, and achievement!
