“The St. Augustine Experience”

Talk with parents of current and former students (we can put you in touch). Let alumni and current Saintsmen tell of their experiences. Plan a visit to the campus. We have an annual Open House in November, scheduled day visits for 7th and 8th graders in October, and we can arrange other opportunities at your convenience.

How to Get Started

If you feel that St. Augustine is the right school for you, it's time to get underway. Enrollment time is an opportunity for you to set your goals and determine how you can best contribute to and benefit from the "St. Augustine Experience."

For 8th Grade Students:

• To begin, use the "Application for Admission and Entrance Test". Pre-registration is recommended, but registration will also be accepted on the day of the test. Send it along with a $50 application fee to Saints. The test will be given January 26, 2008 at 8:30 AM.
• Saints will request academic records from your elementary school and a recommendation from your principal and teachers.
• Evaluation of these records and the results of the Entrance Test will be made by the Saints Admission Team. We will make an appointment for an interview with you either at Saints or on your school campus. Non-Catholic school students are encouraged to bring a letter of recommendation from their pastor to the interview.
• Formal acceptance of new Saintsmen will be made by the end of March.

Entering 9th grade students must (1) achieve a satisfactory score on the Scholastic Testing Service High School Placement Examination, (2) successfully complete all 8th grade course work at their current school, (3) have an acceptable recommendation from elementary school principal and teachers (requested by Saints), (4) have a personal interview (non-Catholic students are encouraged to bring a letter of recommendation from their pastor to the interview), and (5) have a zero tuition balance at their current school.

• Typically a limited number of students coming from other high schools are accepted each year. (Normally, students wishing to transfer in their senior year are not accepted.)
• Fill out the "Application for Admission and Entrance Test" and send it to us along with a $50 non-refundable application fee.
• Upon receipt of your application, we will seek recommendations from your principal, teachers and counselor. We will also request an academic record from your current school.
• We will arrange for a personal interview.
• You will be notified as soon as possible of your acceptance, conditional upon your final semester's performance at your current school.
