Why Austin Prep? - Austin Preparatory School

My experience at Austin has been wonderful and given me so many opportunities to better myself as a person, student, and leader. I’ve been at Austin since eight grade and developed so many amazing relationships with friends and teachers. Participating in clubs like Students for Home Base and a school trip to Australia I have learned about how to live out Austin Prep’s mission.

As an alumni that is currently in college, Austin Prep has gone above and beyond to keep personal connections with students along with their families and provide support and guidance to all students, past and present. I personally believe I would not have the skills nor the confidence to step out of my comfort zone and go to a school thousands of miles from my home without the guidance and support of my mentors, teachers and coaches that I had met in my four years at Austin. It is truly a school that can, and will give students and alumni every opportunity to success in their personal, professional and spiritual life through the lasting relationships that are built over the years. I am forever grateful for the friendships and experiences Austin Prep has provided for me and I am confident in saying going to Austin was the best decision I have made for myself.
