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.

Indivisible Melrose Wakefield and Beyond invites the community to participate in a group read of the graphic novel March, Vol. 1, Rep. John Lewis’s memoir of the Civil Rights Movement. Indivisible MWB will host a Zoom discussion of the book, with March artist Nate Powell as a special guest, on Thursday, July 16, at 7:30 p.m. This comes just ahead of the Good Trouble Weekend of Action, which marks the anniversary of Rep. Lewis’s passing, and everyone is encouraged to participate in one of the local events. In order to participate, please register at the Mobilize link and the Zoom link will be sent to you before the event. <a href="https://www.mobilize.us/dashboard/indivisible/event/980267/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExMkp2Mjl4RXBSeVZLeDhta3NydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR5DABYJ32jbdyaTgeWN5scHzNaOTrfIGv7gYDtidKf5awyV4FRMS-HH7hOVPw_aem_7DFYfddi-mPud7x-5kqrWQ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.mobilize.us/dashboard/indivisible/event/980267/</a><a href="https://www.mobilize.us/dashboard/indivisible/event/980267/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExMkp2Mjl4RXBSeVZLeDhta3NydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR5DABYJ32jbdyaTgeWN5scHzNaOTrfIGv7gYDtidKf5awyV4FRMS-HH7hOVPw_aem_7DFYfddi-mPud7x-5kqrWQ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"></a>The week after the book club discussion, Indivisible Melrose Wakefield and Beyond will host an in-person meeting for anyone interested in taking action to protect election integrity and voting rights. The group will discuss and decide upon an action plan. More information will be available soon. Vol. 1 of March is available at the Melrose Public Library, both in hard copies and on the hoopla digital service, and can be ordered from Molly’s Bookstore in Melrose. Signed and sketched copies can also be ordered directly from Nate Powell at <a href="https://www.seemybrotherdance.org/shop?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExMkp2Mjl4RXBSeVZLeDhta3NydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR7wofMHFLAE6HxsBQ1zgKzSYjR9B4CPrNyqwGaDPwKEtQbqyYbndEsV8bxFgA_aem_ZCkM7OkFHTHXZ3WMmlRxlg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.seemybrotherdance.org/shop</a>. Originally published as three volumes, and now also available as an omnibus, March is a first-person account of the desegregation of the Nashville lunch counters, the Freedom Rides, the March on Washington, and the campaign for the Voting Rights Act. As such, it is important both as history and as a resource for those doing organizing in the present day.
