Mission and Catholic Identity

St. Augustine Catholic School exists to form the whole child—mind, body, and spirit—in the Catholic tradition. For nearly a century, we've been providing the children of Barberton and now Akron with an education that prepares them not only for academic success but for lives of faith, service, and purpose.

Our Catholic identity isn't an add-on—it's the foundation of everything we do. From daily prayer to weekly Mass, from service projects to moral formation, we integrate faith throughout the curriculum and school culture. We believe that strong academics and deep faith formation go hand in hand.

As a parish school serving families throughout Summit County, we welcome students from all backgrounds who seek a values-based education rooted in Catholic teachings. Whether your family is Catholic or exploring faith, you'll find a warm, inclusive community here.
