In 1914, St. Augustine Parish opened its grammar school under the direction of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. Initially, classes were held in the convent for the initial four years. Subsequently, in 1918, the present school edifice was established at 26 Central Street in Andover.
In 1961, during the tenure of Fr. Henry Smith, O.S.A., the school built an addition along Chestnut Street which doubled its capacity.
The School educates approximately 450 students from prekindergarten through 8th grade.[1] [2]
