Saint Augustine School was incorporated in the summer of 2013. The school was formed by thirteen families from the greater Jackson, Mississippi area, who were looking for an alternative to both traditional five-day and homeschool models. Saint Augustine School is the first concrete expression in Mississippi of collaborative-model education, in which two proven elements of educational success—the professional classroom instruction of a trained teacher and the caring at-home mentoring of an involved parent—are combined into a single, unified program. Saint Augustine School is attended by children whose families live in the area and attend Christian churches of various denominations.
