Clubs/Extracurricular Activities
Students at St. Augustine School have a number of extracurricular options available to them!
Seasonal After School Clubs
We have several after school clubs that rotate each term (fall, winter, spring) enabling students to explore a variety of activities over the course of the year. These offerings are organized by faculty and/or parents. Some clubs that St. Augustine School has held in the past include cooking club, ski club, and BOKS club. Each year teachers offer different clubs, so be on the lookout for after school club applications each term!
Yearly Activities
We also run established programs that are offered on an on-going basis. These programs include:

Leadership Team
Each year students in Grades 5-8 experience the democratic process by holding elections, complete with campaign speeches and posters, to determine the middle school Leadership Team. The team consists of one representative from each homeroom class, as well as a 7th/8th grade president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer. The Leadership Team meets regularly to discuss upcoming events, activities, and issues affecting middle school students.

String Orchestra
Learning to play string instruments is introduced and nurtured through this activity, which is offered during the school day. Violin, viola, and cello are enthusiastically tuned and played as students learn the basics and evolve to master more complicated musical pieces. Concerts are held in December and June so parents, family, and friends can enjoy the progress the students make during the year. Available to students in Grades K-8.

Student Yearbook
Much time and energy is put into creating a memory book that records the experiences of our graduating students. Photos, poems, anecdotes, and letters are compiled into a book that is sure to be cherished for years to come.
