St Augustine’s Catholic School

Seriously the best education around! My girls are thriving and learning so much! Thanks to the curriculum and the great teachers & principal! Great job by all. Thank you!

This school is a hidden gem! My son has been attending SAS for 3 years now and he is thriving. There is a strong commitment not only to academic achievement but to community and global awareness. Principal Nguyen is superb, and I appreciate her spirit for the school. Her leadership is remarkable and inspiring. She is always keeping up with the latest technology and top educational methods. The teachers and staff are also exceptional. They are dedicated and care about the students. I really like the curriculum and structure the teachers are using. The students are always happy and thriving. SAS has a lot to offer. In addition to the academic program, there are enrichment programs such as foreign language, ASB, Music, choir, art, and sports — Coach Josh is awesome!
This is a great school and our family feels blessed to have found it!

I Love this school and the people that work here! I have two daughters attending St. Augustine. The teachers are phenomenal. The new Principal is amazing and so is the new secretary!
If you are local or not (like me) its worth sending your kids here. They have a dedicated and hard working staff that really cares about the students. As a parent, that is a huge plus!

Ms. Cummings is the rudest secretary I’ve ever met. She was brusque and abrupt and treated me like a Welfare mother. I paid for the summer fee and then was told that I had to pay 2 separate checks for the fall semester… not that it was a problem but her attitude and deameanor was like someone who was Paying me. She was condescending and when I asked her why she was speaking to me so sharply she ignored me and asked, «Can you pay or not?» Like, wow. Later in the day I went to my dentist’s office and the receptionist related that both assistants are rude. Mr. Mezey is nice and he tries but why put up with these witches? I stopped payment on the check and I collected my son and left the premises. This incident shows me the arrogance of the people of the church that people have no choice but to place their child there. I am a teacher and I would never speak to a parent the way I was spoken to and I would certainly be happy that a parent was enrolling their child into my classes. I can only imagine how she and the other secreatary treat shy parents. I will never go back to this school. The church is lovely, the school is good, because of the teachers but the administration is awful and really lacking in kindness. Not what I expect from a Christian organization. Considering a Protestant school. Inviting and loving and not cold and indifferent. Don’t bring your child here if you want to be treated like a human being. Call and ask a question just to see what I mean. Terrible customer service. Awful Christian guidance. I feel sad beause I want the best for my son. This IS NOT it.

I have three children that attend St. Augustines. With any private school, the principal is basically the CEO that drives the school. Principal Mezey has done a fine job at St. Augustines (& prior with St. Joan of Arc).
Unlike other catholic schools in the area, St. Augustines has been able to maintain stability within its faculty. Overall, the teachers are very involved. Some critics have said the upper grade teachers are a little tough… but most parents prefer the tough love.
The Pre-​K is great. A full day for the little ones 8am to 3pm & they also wear the school uniforms.
Tuition is fair in comparison with other catholic schools in the area.
