Our Mission & Vision
The mission of Augustine School is to offer an education to the glory of God that is Biblically-based, Gospel-centered, and Classically-informed. Everything we offer in the classroom and within our school community is informed by an approach that is grounded in Scripture, centered on the Gospel, and informed by the rich heritage of the classical liberal arts. We aspire to develop a lifelong love of learning while forming wise, well-rounded, and virtuous young men and women who are equipped for meaningful work in God’s world no matter what discipline they may pursue. Learn more about our Vision below.
Biblically-Based
Students grow in their understanding and love of God’s Word learning to relate all things in life to the person and work of Jesus Christ.Gospel-Centered
Students learn to see and submit all knowledge gained in the classroom and beyond to the Lordship of Christ and His Gospel.Classically-Informed
Students build a foundation for success in the world by developing a lifelong love of learning through our classical model of education.
To Assist Parents in Training Up Their Children for the Glory of God
Augustine School assists Christian parents in their task of training their children up to the glory of God, by means of an education which is biblically-based, gospel-centered, and classically informed. It is our hope for parents to grow in their understanding of classical Christian education and to be involved in and excited about the educational journey of their children. An Augustine School education is distinctively Christian and classically-informed. Scripture is central to all that we do and is seamlessly woven into our students’ education as together we seek to be transformed by the renewal of our minds (Romans 12:1-2). By “classical” we mean the centrality of reading and words, the centrality of the past, the centrality of the classical languages (Latin and Greek), the centrality of rigorous thinking, speaking and writing, and the centrality of a telos (“goal”). This goal is the intellectual and spiritual development of the person, not just for a “job,” but to be a wise, virtuous, Christian person, prepared for his or her place in God’s world.
To Pursue the Good, True, and Beautiful Through the Classical Liberal Arts
Augustine School seeks to teach children to pursue truth, goodness, and beauty through the seven liberal arts and sciences under the universal lordship of Christ. Education is not simply the accumulation of data or vocational training. In keeping with the classical (and indeed Christian) tradition, we affirm that it is much more; that it invites us to love that which is worth loving and in doing so become wise and virtuous persons. Augustine School seeks to shape these loves through the seven liberal arts and sciences while affirming in every classroom, from history to music, art to science, that Christ “is before all things, and in him all things hold together” (Colossians 1:18).

To Promote a Christian Worldview and Inspire a Lifelong Love of Learning
Augustine School aspires to develop students who love God with their heart, soul, mind and strength, who possess a Christian worldview, who are grounded in the Western intellectual inheritance, who have a genuine desire for learning, and who seek to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. We affirm that every child is a complex being created in the image of God - spiritual, mental, and physical. We aspire to support each student and nurture a love of God with all that he or she is. It is our hope that throughout their time at Augustine School, students will seek to integrate all subjects together in forming a comprehensive biblical worldview. Our goal is for Augustine School students to graduate with a genuine desire to continue their learning and education well past commencement. We hope to so influence students that learning becomes a lifelong endeavor which brings them great joy.“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”
— Aristotle
