Austin Preparatory School was founded by the Augustinian Friars of the Province of St. Thomas of Villanova in 1961 and opened to students in September 1963. "Austin" is, in fact, an abbreviated version of Augustine, so our name carries on the legacy and acknowledges our debt to St. Augustine and his followers, the Augustinians. St. Augustine is the School’s patron saint, and we strive toward the Augustinian ideal of: “One mind, one heart, intent on God.”

James Hickey, Ph.D.

"A consequential part of our students' readiness is the unique formation they have received through the Augustinian way of life. Our students know veritas, unitas, and caritas. They know Interiority, to find the word of God in stillness. They know that they were made by God, for God, and that our journey ahead back to God will be a restless one."

Dr. Hickey

Ms. Marla Pascucci-Byrne P'26, '28

"There’s nothing like the anticipation that comes before a performance; the energy in the air is matched only by the spirit of unitas backstage. At Austin Prep, the arts are about creative collaboration. Whether onstage, in the gallery, in the classroom, or behind the lens, students experiment with different art forms, and share their talents with the community."
