St. Augustine School strives to guide students toward knowledge of the Catholic faith; to encourage students to demonstrate their knowledge of church doctrine in day-to-day encounters; to instill in students the willingness to take up the challenge of Jesus by reaching out to others; to develop the maximum potential of each child.
We believe that education should be a total process of forming the whole person, developing the full potential of each child by encouraging each child to realize his/her own talents, and allowing each child opportunities to demonstrate and develop these talents by providing an atmosphere conducive to this development.
