Middle School
At Austin Preparatory School, our Augustinian heritage inspires us deeply: If you aspire to great things, begin with the little ones. This guiding principle energizes our work with our Middle School learners, as we build a strong foundation of skills while nurturing curious minds, compassionate hearts, and a lifelong enthusiasm for learning.
The Middle School at Austin Prep is a warm, intentional community grounded in the best practices of Middle School education. During this pivotal time of growth, our students receive thoughtful guidance from dedicated faculty and advisors who help them acclimate to campus life, develop personal confidence, and become self-reliant learners and advocates for themselves.
Our academic program champions student agency, offering meaningful choice and opportunities for self-expression and to pursue passions. We encourage learners to embrace challenges as gateways to growth and to approach both classroom and extracurricular experiences with curiosity and openness. Here, students are inspired to explore new horizons—intellectually, socially, and spiritually—as they prepare to make their own unique contributions to the world.
In Lego Metropolis Class, Students collaboratively design and build a vibrant cityscape, sparking creativity and teamwork brick by brick.
