About
Educating the Christian Gentleman since 1959.
We remain at our core the intellectually charged, forward-thinking St. Augustine Prep that opened its doors in 1959. Our mission statement cements our core values, highlights what makes the Prep unique in our marketplace, and purposefully articulates the strength of being a school that transforms boys into men.- rev.

Mission Statement
“Setting hearts on fire with a passionate search for Truth, Unity, and Love. Through the Catholic Tradition and in the spirit of St. Augustine, we aspire to: Achieve academic excellence with integrity (Truth), Create a compassionate Brotherhood of Christian Gentlemen (Unity), and See the face of God in all people through loving service to our neighbor (Love).”
St. Augustine Prep was built by many working hands and passionate, generous hearts. The journey began with the vision of the Augustinians and continues to this very day with their passionate leadership.
Set on 118 acres of peaceful, rural landscape, St. Augustine Prep’s collegiate-style campus provides the space — and the spirit — for students to grow intellectually, socially, and spiritually. Rooted in Augustinian values and guided by a deep sense of brotherhood, this environment of quiet focus shapes young men of character, faith, and purpose.
From a modest beginning in 1959 to more than 650 students today — and thousands of alumni who have gone on to excel at top colleges and universities across the U.S. and abroad — St. Augustine Prep continues to shape driven, confident young men grounded in Augustinian values.
As classmates, friends, and Hermit Brothers, they share an unparalleled educational experience rooted in faith, brotherhood, and purpose. Each emerges as a brave and brilliant young man, poised to lead and serve in an ever-changing world.
