Benedictine Tradition involved in the education and formation of young men for centuries.

Saint Benedict wrote his simple Rule for monks in 540 A.D. to establish a humane and Christ-centered way of life and preserve order and harmony. Benedictine monasteries became centers of learning, entrusted with the education of local youth.

over

half of Priory’s

faculty have been in the classroom for

10+ years

Drawing upon this rich inheritance of time-tested wisdom, the monks of Saint Louis Abbey commit to serving God and neighbor— for life—in the education and formation of the students of Saint Louis Priory School. Although the monks teach traditional academics, their most significant contribution is pastoral concern for the boys through their Christian witness.

PAGE 5

The Benedictine spirit permeates our campus and motivates dedicated lay teachers and staff who are committed to providing academics of the highest excellence while supporting students to develop their talents and interests. We invite you to discover the palpable sense of welcome and hospitality—a hallmark of Benedictine monasteries—by visiting our school.

The Priory Difference Within the context of a Benedictine school, Priory offers a strong Catholic education, with regular religious formation and instruction. Whether our students are Catholic or of another religious tradition, participating in Theology courses, weekly prayer services and Mass, school retreats, service opportunities, and Catholic devotional life offers each boy a chance to develop his relationship with God and consider important life questions at his own pace.

On behalf of all of us here at Priory, I welcome you!

Priory is a very special place. I have been part of it since I was baptized (many years ago!), and it still amazes me. It is a community filled with bright and energetic people, committed to our mission of educating young men both spiritually and intellectually, giving them opportunities to grow in all areas of their lives. Our students form lasting friendships among themselves and with those of us privileged to teach, coach and mentor them.

Above all else, Priory is a place where people care about each other “out of love for Christ.” It is our faith and that love which God has showered on us which animates and enlivens every aspect of this place. I hope and pray that you will find that Spirit here as fully as we do.

In the early stages of their Priory experience, our students are required to follow a liberal arts course of study involving coursework in nine academic departments. Priory’s curriculum provides the foundation to prepare young men for admission to distinguished colleges and universities, and, perhaps more importantly, it enables them to undertake further studies with success.

“ There’s a depth of thinking that Priory requires that I think prepares you well. You really have to think at Priory, it’s just in the culture of the place, the students are used to thinking, you are required to think, and that prepares you for college.”

As boys progress through our program, their opportunities for variety in course selection increase. Some of our students elect to continue their study of the classical languages, while others choose to participate in our growing computer science program. Each boy continues to develop his craft in one of our visual or fine arts electives for a minimum of two years in the high school. By the time they are juniors and seniors, many of our students are challenged by Advanced Placement (AP) work in a number of disciplines. In the senior year, students largely sculpt their own curriculum in addition to writing a substantive thesis on a topic of their choice, while working independently with a faculty advisor.

Our Division Directors, Department Heads, and Faculty strive to work with our students to ensure that they are taking a strong and varied course load, paying careful attention to each student’s total school involvement, athletic and other curricular commitments, and overall combination of classes.

PAGE 12

Theology at Priory Theology at Priory is meant to help students consider some of the most significant questions: Who is God? How has He revealed himself to mankind? For what is a human being made? How do we treat our neighbor in light of these? We offer Theology— which literally means the “study of God”—because seeking understanding regarding these questions is important for everyone. As a Benedictine and Catholic school, we believe the full answers are found in Jesus Christ, who is “the way, the truth, and the life,” (John 14:6) and we seek to offer this knowledge drawing on the rich tradition of the Church’s faith and life, and invite our boys to consider that what it has to say is relevant today. We find that our students, whether Christian or of another tradition, enjoy engaging with these questions in class and growing at their own pace in knowledge and love of God.

“ The Latin language is inextricably woven into the fabric of our English language and of our English-language literary and intellectual tradition. Something on the order of 60% of our words (and an even greater percentage of our scholarly and professional terminology) come from Latin. The student of Latin, then, acquires from his study a mastery of the medium of our intellectual exchange, a possession that will prove itself invaluable to him regardless of the field of endeavor to which he will ultimately devote his talents.”

— Thomas Carroll, Classical Languages Department Chair PAGE 13

Our Graduates are Ready Computer Science Most careers today require, or at least benefit from, a strong understanding of technology. The Computer Science program’s primary goal is to introduce students to technology and demonstrate how it can enrich their lives. We believe that the various technologies we look at in our program have the potential for significant and positive impacts on our students’ lives and in the world around them. Our program begins in the Junior School, where we introduce the students to programming, develop competency in practical usage of Google applications, and discuss digital citizenship. In the High School, students can explore diverse technologies. They have the opportunity to develop technology-related startup companies, explore and build virtual-reality worlds, create applications, and investigate many other advanced technology topics.

Throughout the program we infuse entrepreneurship principles in all of our classes designed to teach students how to solve complex problems, speak and present publicly, and work in teams.

“ Success looks, and is, different for every student who comes through my door—for some students success is strong grades and for others it’s punctuality, learning how to organize their materials, developing stronger communication skills…or all of the above! The students who succeed in my classes are those who work with me to identify what it is they are trying to achieve and together, both as individuals and as a class, we build a community that demands commitment towards mastery of the material and mastery over making good choices that positively affect the students’ overall academic and social experience.”

Fine Arts

We hope to instill in all of our students an

appreciation of the arts that continues into adulthood through a variety of visual and performing arts courses: studio art, theatre/ communication art, medieval art, and vocal music.

Students present a winter musical and a spring drama or comedy each year in the High School, with female roles played by students from local schools. The Spring Choral Concert is a favorite of Vocal Music Students in both the Junior and High Schools. Other opportunities to share the fruits of their labors regularly arise, such as photography or design work in The Record (school newspaper) or The Shield (school yearbook).

Two large works of art in the High School lobby are the Emerson Stained Glass Windows.

Priory is the only high school in the country with a fullyfunctioning Medieval Arts Guild, known officially as The Guild of Saint Columkille. All students learn the history and beauty of the Medieval Arts, including the art of calligraphy (a mainstay at Priory since its founding).

Interested students may progress through the Guild system, learning the ancient art forms of stained glass, mosaics, banners and illuminated manuscripts from upper classmen, until they achieve the status of Master in the Guild. Each Master has earned the right to have his personal coat of arms permanently sealed on the Craftsman Table.

PAGE 16

“ The Priory theatre program has given me so many opportunities that you just don’t get in a traditional classroom setting. The winter musical and spring play allow students to try out performing arts, singing, character study, public speaking, choreography, accents, line delivery, movement, scene blocking and many more theatre skills either recreationally or as a possible profession. But most of all, the theatre program is yet another tightly knit family at Priory (and of girls from other schools) that will change your life. So, if any of these spark your interest, or you just want to try something new, we would love to have you join us.”

to think about majors and careers. The Priory College Counseling Office provides the highest level of support to families during this important time. Expert advocacy combined with our amazing students yields outstanding results. We love hearing back from our alumni about their adventures and achievements at the university level, and especially about the ways in which Priory has shaped them and prepared them for college.

PAGE 19

The Advisory System Each student joins an advisory group, led by a faculty member, on the first day of school. In the Junior School, advisors remain with the same students for 7th and 8th grade. Advisory groups meet in the mornings on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and eat lunch together on Thursdays. In the High School, advisory consists of groups of 12-15 students from different grade levels. Boys remain with their advisory group until graduation, and the advisor is the primary guide and mentor for the student in the High School.

Priory Counseling Office “As the School Counselor, my responsibility is to promote the academic, personal and social development of all students. I work collaboratively with parents, teachers, administrators, the community and the students themselves to help achieve these goals. I look forward to working with everyone in our community to create an even better environment for our students.”

— Elizabeth Bates, M.A., School Counselor

“ There is a kind of personal comfort, personal security, personal stability that is required to sit down and actually be productive. Priory provides that through the relationships you have with your teachers, and the relationships you have with peers. It also provides that by nourishing not just the emotional or academic side of the individual, but also the spiritual and the physical through sports.”

currently at Duke University

Priory Athletics Athletics are curricular at Priory. Participation in sports is an integral component of the overall education and development of each Priory student. Our athletic program spans 7th through 12th grade and:

n

Provides a recreational and competitive outlet for students

n

Exposes young athletes to a variety of different sports

n

Helps students reach their full physical and mental potential

n

Fosters a bond of teamwork and friendship between the athletes

n

Educates students with a foundation in respect and good sportsmanship

n

Encourages the development of leadership, commitment, cooperation, and self-discipline

n

Brings together students, faculty, parents and alumni in an atmosphere that makes the Priory community stronger

n

Builds school spirit!

Nearly all

of Priory’s 11th and 12th graders participate in athletics at the varsity level

Note: Priory’s Athletic Director considers exemptions from our athletic requirement on a case-by-case basis. We have many students involved in sports as a team manager, taking a season off to participate in one of our theatre productions, or participating in physical education and fitness training for a term in lieu of playing a sport for a term.

“ I think tennis helped me academically as well as athletically. I looked forward to tennis after a long day of school because it acted as an outlet for my energy and gave my mind a break from schoolwork. It helped me become well rounded and taught me how to manage my time well—an underrated skill to have.”

Chaplaincy Chaplaincy undertakes the spiritual, moral, and sacramental formation of the students, which includes organizing school Masses, prayer assemblies, Reconciliation, community service projects, and annual retreats. Students have many opportunities to be involved in Chaplaincy—in our liturgies as readers, servers, or musicians; as speakers in our prayer assemblies; as leaders of the Spiritual Student Council; or being involved in one of the many religious and service clubs. Our goal is to form young men of character and who understand the values of the Gospel and are equipped to live and flourish in this world and the next.

“ While Priory’s academics are certainly a selling point in preparing a young man for college, I think it is its influence on how to operate as a self-aware human being that sets Priory apart. Priory has given me the tools to succeed in any environment that I might find myself in, even if I struggle at the onset.”

— Andrew Rhodes, Class of 2012

Robotics 58 students from the Junior School, High School and our neighbor school Visitation, a dozen adult mentors, and 16 sponsors (12 corporate sponsors, two family sponsors, and two Priory Alumni sponsors) formed the 2016-2017 RoboRebels Robotics team, one of the most popular and successful clubs at Priory. Students divide into mechanical, controls, design, electrical, systems, programming, drive, business, and public relations divisions to compete in the St. Louis FIRST Robotics Competition every March. They are given a competitive scenario in January and have six weeks to build, program, and test two robots—one for practice and one for competition.

When should your son apply to Priory?

Priory begins in seventh grade. We have a six-year program and encourage families considering Priory to apply during their son’s fifth or sixth grade year. We do welcome applicants at all grade levels, including ninth grade, when we have space in a given class. The application deadline for entry in 8th, 9th, 10th or 11th grade at Priory is January 16, 2018.

Priory offers two types of admission to seventh grade: Early Decision and Regular Decision.

would be happy to talk with your family about Priory, and host your son for a day!

Early Decision Program for Fifth Grade Boys Priory offers the Early Decision program for families who have investigated options early and decided that Priory is a good fit for their son. Early Decision applicants go through the admissions process and if admitted, receive offers of enrollment during fifth grade for seventh grade entry. The requirements and the timeline are the same as our Regular Decision applicants.

We typically add about half of our incoming class through our Early Decision program. The advantage of Early Decision is that your son knows he has a spot at Priory.

He will begin to feel a part of the Priory community early, and he will have the benefit of spending time on campus, building camaraderie with future classmates, and feeling confident that he is prepared when he arrives.
