Clark School welcomes students of various abilities: Students who are exceptional, gifted learners, and those who need additional support all coexist on a day-to-day basis. They share ideas, classes, activities, and friendships. Stu- dents receive individualized attention to address their unique profiles and cele- brate their differences, in a no-bullying, welcoming atmosphere. While many schools are cutting the arts, Clark provides opportunities for students to develop their creative strengths through our visual and performing arts classes and extracurriculars. Our FutureLab offers courses in virtual reality, 3D printing, aug- An Austin Prep education is preparation for the journey of life. The school's mis- sion is "to inspire hearts to unite, minds to inquire, and hands to serve." It's not the formal curriculum, however, that prepares students to go the distance. It's the un- written curriculum of veritas, unitas, and caritas (truth, unity, love) that Austin Prep imprints on the hearts of graduates that guides them on their inner journey. The school's academic program for young men and women covers seven years, from grades 6 through 12, and because of this extended time shared with students, the school has the ability to offer wide-ranging opportunities for academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth at critical stages of a student's adolescent development. Austin Prep believes all teachers and admin - istrators share responsibility for students' for- mation through direct instruction, the example of their daily behavior, language and demean- or, and support of students' participation in the spiritual life of Austin Preparatory School. Community has always been at the core of an Augustinian education. Understanding and ap- preciating this principle of community is one of the most important focuses of Austin Prepara- tory School's approach to education. "At Austin Prep, we are on a journey that is life-changing and important," says headmaster 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, com- mitted to exemplary teaching and learning." Austin PrePArAtory school clArk school mented reality, robotics, and more. We are also exceptional at preparing students for life after high school. Our goal is to find the best fit for our students, whether it is Ivy League or a state school, a gap year or a new career. Clark graduates will be equipped with the tools they need to be successful. "At Clark School, we hope your child will make a lot of mistakes. We feel students tru- ly grow through error and acceptance of the fact that they will indeed make mistakes," says Jeff Clark, head of Clark School. "It is not our successes alone that define us," Clark School offers year-round rolling admissions, so you can start on a new edu- cational path today, in a school that better fits who you are as a learner and a person.
