Given the endeavor to form our minds and souls, St. Augustine asks that everyone brings the best of themselves to the classroom by wearing formal attire as a sign of recognition of and respect for the importance of what we are doing. All students are asked to comply with the following standards of dress:

Dress for Boy: dress slacks; light-colored plain button up dress shirts, always tucked in.   Sweaters and dress coats may be worn. No polo shirts, fleeces, hoodies, or winter jackets may be worn in class. Smooth soled dress shoes are to be worn during class times.  Hair should be trimmed fairly short and neat. 

No undershirts/sleeveless shirts may be worn for sports/runner’s club/drama practice.  

Dress for Girls: Modest skirt and blouse or dress that covers the knee. Smooth soled dress shoes/ dress boots are to be worn during class times. No fleeces, hoodies, or winter jackets may be worn in class.  

Leggings should not be worn by themselves during sports/runner’s club/drama practice. Shorts should be mid thigh even when wearing leggings. No tank tops.   

Shoes should be smooth soled dress shoes; absolutely NO sneakers, sport shoes or snow boots in the buildings.

The Ann Arbor and South Lyon campuses each have separate protocols. You can view them individually:

For students who are interested in drama and making a more serious commitment, each campus offers a yearly Shakespeare production.

While each student is required to participate in our schola, for students who are more interested in sacred music, we have a Santa Cecilia Schola, which is also a more serious time commitment.

Additionally, each year there is an opportunity for the schola to go on pilgrimage both locally and domestically.

The purpose of an education is not simply to prepare students to do well at university or be economically productive. The point of an education is to form the mind and character of a person, and the point of a classical Catholic education is to form the whole person into the image and likeness of God.

According to the AP Test website, students who are homeschooled may still take AP Tests at a school that offers AP Testing. Generally the public high school your child would have attended should be able to accommodate your child. We recommend getting in touch with the AP Test Coordinator at your local high school as soon as possible if this is important for you and your child. You can learn more here.

Students who would like to take the ACT and/or SAT can still do so! Often your local public school is able to accommodate your child. We recommend getting in touch with them as soon as possible to make sure they are able to accommodate your child. Additionally you can register your child for other tests happening locally. To learn more and register your child for either test, you can click the links below:

SAT Testing

The CLT is an alternative college entrance exam that many of our students have benefited from. It is accepted at hundreds of colleges across the US and is an alternative to the ACT and SAT. Over $100 million in scholarships are tied to CLT scores annually. We offer a CLT preparation course for our Upper School III students. To learn more, you can visit the CLT website.
