About Our School

“What greater work is there than training the mind and forming the habits of the young?” — Saint John Chrysostom
At Divinum Auxilium Academy the children begin their journey in a beautifully prepared Montessori environment directed by an Association Montessori Internationale trained directress. Upon completion of the Kindergarten year the children then transition to a more traditional academic setting. In the Academy’s Pre-Grammar and Grammar schools they will begin the rich and rigorous training in the Classical Liberal Arts, while retaining a Montessori experience of the environment and orientation to their unique plane of development.
