Hear from families about their St. Augustine experience
Don't just take our word for it. Hear directly from current and alumni families about what makes St. Augustine Catholic School a special place for children to learn, grow, and thrive in faith.
"We toured several schools when looking for kindergarten, but St. Augustine felt like home from the moment we walked in. The teachers greeted us warmly, students were happy and engaged, and we could feel the strong sense of community. Five years later, with two kids now enrolled, I can honestly say choosing St. Augustine was the best decision we ever made for our family. The academic rigor prepares them well, but it's the faith formation, character development, and genuine care from every teacher that sets this school apart. My children love going to school every day, and as a parent, that's priceless."

"As Catholic parents, we wanted our children to receive an education rooted in faith, but we also wanted them academically challenged and prepared for the future. St. Augustine delivers on both. Our daughter receives daily religion class, weekly Mass, and constant reinforcement of Catholic values—while also being pushed academically in ways that prepare her for high school and beyond. The teachers know her strengths and weaknesses intimately because of the small class sizes. She's not a number here; she's a beloved child of God being formed in mind, body, and spirit."

Many of our current parents are St. Augustine alumni themselves.
"I graduated from St. Augustine in 1998, and when my oldest turned five, there was no question where she'd go to school. The values, faith foundation, and sense of community that shaped me are the same ones shaping my children today. Some of my former teachers are still here, and it's incredible to see them now teaching my kids! St. Augustine gave me a strong moral compass, excellent academic preparation, and lifelong friendships. I want the same for my children, and I know they'll get it here."

"My grandmother went to St. Augustine. My mother went here. I went here. And now my son is in 6th grade. Four generations of our family have been formed by this incredible school. Yes, things have changed—we have Chromebooks now and a partnership with Notre Dame ACE Academy—but the heart of St. Augustine remains the same: faith-centered, academically excellent, and deeply committed to each child. Walking these same hallways with my son, seeing him experience traditions I remember from childhood, is profoundly special."

"My daughter was reading above grade level by the end of 1st grade thanks to Mrs. Miller's incredible phonics instruction. The academic expectations are high, but the support is there to help every child succeed."
— Lisa P., 1st grade parent
"Our son made his First Communion in 2nd grade here, and the preparation was beautiful. He didn't just memorize prayers—he genuinely understands what the Eucharist means. His faith has grown so much."
— Robert and Susan G., 4th grade parents
"The teachers here don't just teach—they truly love their students. When my son was struggling with math, his teacher stayed after school twice a week to tutor him. That's dedication you won't find everywhere."
— Jennifer W., 5th grade parent
"We're not Catholic, but we chose St. Augustine because we wanted a values-based education. We've never felt excluded—only welcomed. The faith teachings align with our family's values, and we love the strong moral foundation."
— Kevin J., non-Catholic parent of 3rd grader
"In our daughter's class of 18, the teacher knows exactly where each student is academically and adjusts lessons accordingly. She receives individualized attention impossible at larger schools. Worth every penny of tuition."
— Thomas and Mary S., Kindergarten parents
"Our son got into Hoban with a merit scholarship thanks to St. Augustine's rigorous academics and HSPT prep. He's thriving in high school because St. Aug prepared him so well. We're forever grateful."
— Catherine M., parent of 2023 graduate
"We thought Catholic school would be out of reach financially, but St. Augustine's generous financial aid program made it possible. We receive significant tuition assistance, and the school has never made us feel like second-class citizens. They genuinely want every family who values Catholic education to be able to attend, regardless of financial situation. Apply for aid—don't let cost prevent you from exploring this amazing school."
