The Saint Austin School is a Catholic classical PK-8 school in St. Louis, working alongside families to prepare students for a life of faith, virtue, and service. We believe the Catholic conviction that parents are the first and most enduring educators of their children. We extend this family environment so that children “…may increase in wisdom, and in stature, and in favor with God and man” (Luke 2:52). We attract families from across the archdiocese who share a deep commitment to their Catholic faith and desire to raise their children in a community united by that same vision.

Through our integrated Catholic classical curriculum, we educate the whole person—intellectually, spiritually, physically, and morally—anchored in the transcendentals of truth, goodness, and beauty. We guide students to embrace the proper ordering of first things—a deep love for God, the understanding that they are created in the Imago Dei, and how to discern and respond to God's will for their lives. This order fosters academic excellence, and instills a lifelong love of learning.

MISSION
The St. Austin School provides a rigorous academic program which prepares our students to excel in secondary schools of the highest caliber.
In collaboration with our families, we help form students in Christian virtues and the lifelong practice of the Catholic Faith.
