St. Augustine High School

St. Augustine High School is a Catholic, college preparatory secondary school for young men from ninth through twelfth grades. It is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Our mission is to provide a Catholic liberal arts education for young men in an environment that promotes the development of mind, heart and body in the Augustinian tradition. By helping to form loving disciples of Jesus Christ we communicate to the world the gospel values of community, truth and love.

The vision of St. Augustine High School is to excel as a Catholic liberal arts school in the Augustinian tradition. We prepare young men for adult servant-leadership in their families and church as well as civic, academic, and professional communities. We create opportunities to foster intellectual, personal, and physical achievement developing Christian gentlemen who are strong in mind, heart and body. Saints is a school community with a love of learning that accepts boys and graduates men who change the world.

St. Augustine High School is a private, independent, Augustinian, Catholic school for young men dedicated to the enrichment of each student in mind, heart and body. We believe in the uniqueness of a high school experience in a fraternal atmosphere and tailor instruction to the distinct manner in which young men learn.

We teach and live the Gospel values of community, truth, and love and recognize the family as the primary educator of the student. St. Augustine High School aims to cultivate healthy and resourceful young men who are empowered to use their God-given talents to make a difference in an ever-changing world.

We offer a variety of courses and programs that challenge and nurture each student as he journeys to become a Christian gentleman. We develop the student’s intellect within the framework of a college preparatory, liberal arts curriculum. We stress the need for reasoned thought and teach students to integrate knowledge into a coherent view of the world. We guide decision making grounded in morality and integrity. We promote strong Christian service, athletic and arts programs. All of this fosters the development of spirituality, character, and servant-leadership.

We are a small, diverse, urban, Catholic high school for young men founded in the Augustinian tradition of unity, truth and love. We believe young men are best educated together in an open atmosphere surrounded by Christ’s love and strong adult mentoring.

Come and see the profound difference a Catholic, Augustinian college preparatory education can provide your son. When young men are challenged to grow and become Christian leaders in the world around them, our community and our society benefit. As each of us knows full well, living a Catholic, Christian life in today’s world is difficult at best. It behooves us to invest in our sons during these challenging adolescent years when boys grow into young men. We believe Saints offers the right education for young men at this critical juncture of their lives. Providing your sons with the love of Christ and a world class education is the right blend to build young men into strong leaders who are committed to living their lives based on Christ’s love.

For the past ninety years, St. Augustine High School has been making a critical difference in San Diego. While providing a 21st century education, the faculty and administration challenge your family to take a closer look at the Saints’ experience-an experience that truly changes lives.

It is our goal to nurture and produce young men who are intellectually competent, maturing in their faith, and open to the world around them. Parents have many educational choices for their sons. While no school is perfect for every student, it is our belief that, as the only Catholic, all men’s school in San Diego, Saints offers an education which holistically addresses the excellent development of each student’s God-given gifts.
