Choose an Austin Prep Education Rooted in Augustinian Values

Austin Preparatory School

Austin Preparatory School, located in Reading, Massachusetts, is an independent Catholic prep school rooted in the Augustinian tradition. Serving students in grades 6 through 12, Austin Prep has cultivated a close-knit learning community since its founding in 1961. Guided by its mission to inspire hearts to unite, minds to inquire, and hands to serve, the school challenges students through a rigorous college preparatory program that includes honors and Advanced Placement courses, personalized instruction, and intentionally small classes. An Austin Prep education is preparation for the journey of life. Beyond academics, the school’s unwritten curriculum – the lived expression of veritas, unitas, and caritas (truth, unity, and love) – forms the heart of its mission. “At Austin Prep, we are on a journey that is life-changing and important,” says Head of School James Hickey, Ph.D. “Our patron, St. Augustine, embarked on a journey for the truth. At our core is an institution on the same journey, committed to exemplary teaching and learning.” Serving grades 6–12 under one roof allows this leading prep school to guide students through every stage of development—academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Community stands at the center of this experience, nurturing belonging and inspiring students to lead lives of purpose. Austin Prep athletics teams, competing in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), are recognized among the best north of Boston, reflecting the same drive and integrity found in the classroom. Nearly every graduate continues on to a four-year college, prepared not only for success in higher education but for a meaningful life shaped by faith, friendship, and service.

To the editor: We are fortunate here in Reading to NOT have to deal with National Grid or NStar for our electricity needs. With the RMLD right here on Ash Street, we have a nimble accessible municipal light company to do the job. Because it is local and small, RMLD has the ability to think and act in dynamic ways to cut our energy use, increase our efficiency, and promote safe and clean energy.  Town Meeting member David Talbot is the one candidate who has pledged to move the RMLD into the 21st century proposing common sense and bold energy efficiency programs, cost cutting measures, and ideas on how we can invest and promote clean and safe energy. As we need to address climate change issues and be concerned about our pocketbooks, we need Talbot at the table to bring his ideas and energy to best represent Reading consumers. Please join me is supporting David Talbot for RMLD on April 2.  Matt Wilson Summer Avenue
