Why Choose A Catholic Education?

Catholic schools, Austin included, are renowned for their high academic standards, coupled with a rigorous curriculum that challenges students to excel. Statistics and reports consistently show that students in Catholic schools outperform their peers in standardized tests and college readiness exams. This academic excellence is a testament to the quality of education provided.

Beyond academic prowess, Austin places a significant emphasis on instilling moral and ethical values in our students. The curriculum is designed not only to educate but also to cultivate character. Our students learn the importance of virtues like honesty, compassion, and responsibility, ensuring their development into well-rounded individuals.

One of the hallmarks of Austin is our close-knit community atmosphere. There is a strong sense of belonging and a supportive environment. This setting provides a safe and nurturing space for students to learn and grow, contributing significantly to their emotional and social well-being.

Austin offers comprehensive religious education that goes beyond the basics. Students have the opportunity to explore and understand their faith deeply. This spiritual guidance helps in shaping their worldview and provides a strong moral foundation, aiding them in various stages of life.

Smaller class sizes at Austin mean more individualized attention for each student. Our 7:1 student teacher ratio allows teachers to tailor their instructional methods to meet the unique needs of each child, significantly enhancing the learning experience and academic performance.

Discipline and structure are key components of Austin’s approach. This structured environment fosters self-discipline and respect among students, qualities that are essential for personal and professional success.

Austin is committed to preparing students for future success, both academically and personally. Our holistic approach to education ensures that students are well-equipped for college and beyond. Alumni success stories (pictured here is Austin Alumni Alex Brown who now teaches at St. Mary / McCormick in Port Huron) and higher education statistics often highlight the effective preparation these students receive.

We partner with our parents in developing our student’s whole experience. Parents provide a valuable contribution to both faith formation and academics. Austin offers many opportunities to participate and contribute to the school’s environment, including our Parent Advisory Association, P.A.A.

Austin not only identifies and nurtures the natural abilities and talents of each student we provide clear channels with introductions and opportunities to new adventures and journeys that help students flourish.
