THE SAINTS EXPERIENCE

Mr. Michael HauptDIRECTOR OF [email protected](619) 282-2184 ex. 5521

Four fantastic years that made me a better thinker, do-er, and servant leader. It also gave me 176 brothers when originally I had none.– Saintsman Jason Misleh, National Merit Finalist; attending Harvey Mudd College

Saints is a strong, caring and supportive environment for young men looking to grow, learn and mature. Our son has thrived through rigorous sports and academics! We love the staff and the school.- Joe Strazzeri, Father of Saintsman ‘18

Brotherhood, Faith and Community play a very important role in students’ daily experiences. Saints delivers! Your son will be changed to a chivalrous, courteous, confident and honorable young man.– Christina Dashwood, Mother of Saintsmen ‘16 and ‘17

Saints has given me all that a young man could need from sports to faith support to educational rigor. I couldn’t have asked for a better high school experience.– Saintsman Sebastian Rohrer; attending UCSD

My coaches and teachers have forced me into leadership spots that, at the time, I didn’t want, but am now so grateful for having. Saints helped me to grow as a student and a leader. I will forever be grateful.– Saintsman Brendan Silvia, St. Augustine Gold Medal Recipient; attending Montana State University

I can’t say enough about our love of this school! Saints accepts boys and graduates kind, thoughtful, young men.– Terri Gainor, Mother of Saintsmen ‘15 and ‘18


Offer an engaging curriculum, specifically developed for the ways boys think and learn, helping build their confidence and pride in their abilities in order to thrive academically. The scope and diversity of our program helps encourage boys to want to be at school and want to learn. Our school activities include leadership training, community service, an award winning science program, extensive creative and visual arts program, faith development and enrichment programs, and athletics. Our school’s inquiry-based and hands-on approach builds upon boys’ natural curiosity.

Raise expectations of what boys can achieve, encouraging each boy to achieve his potential and discover his own unique interests and talents.

Build a safe, happy and secure school environment in which boys receive the right balance of boundaries, high expectations and the freedom to explore within them.

Gear the school environment to maximize the way boys will respond and participate in their learning. We develop exciting resources geared toward boys, from the books they like to read, to the furnishings and fixtures in classrooms, high levels of technology, and large open spaces in which to play.

ALL-BOYS EDUCATION

Approach teaching and learning in a way that is tailored to how boys learn helping them to thrive academically, socially and spiritually. Our experiential and internationally focused methods help boys connect with the world around them. We take care to vary curriculum content and methodologies of teaching, learning and thinking, and use diverse technologies to support our goals. Importantly, we understand that there is great diversity in the way boys learn.

Help boys focus on academic and extracurricular activities without the pressure to perform for girls. Boys can show interest without inhibition and are able to interact with learning programs, often achieving more highly as a result.

Choose teachers that understand, value and are passionate about working with boys and who act as positive Catholic role models.

Promote strong bonds of friendship between the boys and their classmates as well as with their teachers and coaches.

Provide supervised social, spiritual, cultural and academic activities with our sister school the Academy of Our Lady of Peace.

In an independent study commissioned by the New Zealand government over a 12-year period, groundbreaking research shows that boys in single-sex schools achieve significantly higher academic results than those in co-educational institutions at all levels and across ethnicities.

St. Augustine High School is not just a “school comprised of boys,” but a school FOR boys. Saints is designed in every way to respond to boys’ needs, to harness their potential and to guide them along the journey towards becoming responsible Christian gentlemen.

At St. Augustine High School, our boys benefit from our ability to:

AUGUSTINIAN HERITAGE CATHOLIC EDUCATION

St. Augustine High School is a ministry of the Augustinians and is one of over 70 high schools and institutes of higher education found in over 37 countries

• Order of St. Augustine (OSA) Founded in 1244 with international headquarters in Rome

• OSA arrived in the United States in 1796

Saints celebrates being a Catholic community!

Jesus and the Eucharist are at the core of who we are as a school. As such, we enjoy the tradition of Weekly Mass. In student exit interviews for the past 10 years, Saintsmen have identified Weekly Mass, and the Freshman Retreat, as highlights of their high school journey. Teachers and coaches incorporate prayer into their daily activities.

The Mission of St. Augustine High School is to provide a Catholic liberal arts education for young men in an environment that promotes the development of mind, heart and body in the Augustinian tradition.

By helping to form loving disciples of Jesus Christ we communicate to the world the gospel values of community, truth and love.
