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.

STONEHAM, MA — The first day of the next school year will be Aug. 31 and, in the miraculous instance of no snow days, kids will be in class until June 13. The School Committee on Thursday night unanimously confirmed the 2022-23 school calendar. It's not on the website yet, but there will be 182 days for staff and 180 of learning. School would start Aug. 29 for staff and Aug. 31 for students — the latter of which will also be the final day for Superintendent John Macero. (The School Committee Thursday also voted to <a href="https://patch.com/massachusetts/stoneham/stoneham-opts-elevate-assistant-superintendent-run-district">enter into negotiations</a> with Assistant Superintendent David Ljungberg to succeed Macero.) The last day would be June 13. If there are enough snow days to push it back to June 20, the last day of school would actually be June 21, because Juneteenth (June 19) is a Sunday and would be recognized Monday. Students would leave for winter break on Dec. 22 — the School Committee opted against a half-day on Dec. 23, a Friday — and return Jan. 3.
