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.

Reading resident Shores Salter acted quickly after the marathon bombings and saved Roseann Sdoia's life. Salter was able to meet Sdoia Saturday at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, according to an <a href="http://www.wcvb.com/news/local/metro/boston-marathon-bombing-survivor-reunites-with-man-who-saved-her/-/11971628/20016184/-/689i1u/-/index.html?absolute=true" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">article on wcvb.com</a>. This past Saturday was the first time the two had seen each other since Marathon Monday, when Salter used his belt to create a tourniquet to stop Sdoia from bleeding. Sdoia wanted to know who saved her and in an effort to identify Salter, his photo was posted on wcvb.com. His high school friends saw his photo and texted him right away. Soon after, the pair arranged to meet this past Saturday at Spaulding Rehab. The first thing Salter did when he saw Sdoia at the hospital was give her a big bear hug, wcvb.com said. "It's just nice -- a little peace of mind to see how well she's doing. To see her spirits -- it's honestly amazing," Salter said in the article. The pair spoke briefly about the bombings, but focused on Sdoia's recovery, according to the article. They hope to be lifelong friends now.
