College-prep academics, leadership development, and high school readiness
Middle school is a pivotal time. At St. Augustine, grades 6-8 students experience rigorous academic preparation alongside faith formation, leadership opportunities, and explicit high school readiness training. Our dedicated teachers ensure students are challenged academically while supported personally during these formative years.
As a Notre Dame ACE Academy, our middle school curriculum is intentionally designed to prepare students for success at top Catholic high schools.
Middle school is when faith becomes personal. We help students develop a mature, authentic relationship with Christ.
Scripture study, Church history, moral theology, apologetics, and Catholic identity formation appropriate for adolescents.
8th graders prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation through intensive catechesis, service, and spiritual formation.
Monthly service projects, mission trips, and opportunities to live Catholic social teaching through action.
Class retreats, reflection days, and spiritual formation experiences deepen faith and build community.
Student Council, peer mentoring, liturgical ministry, and servant leadership roles develop Christian leaders.

We don't just prepare students academically—we ensure they're ready for every aspect of high school.
