St. Philip & St. Augustine Catholic Academy is located in the heart of the Pleasant Grove community in Southeast Dallas, home of one of the largest Latino populations in Dallas County. This is a hardworking, family-oriented community working for a better life for their children. The leaders and families in this community believe that the key to improving the lives and futures of their children and building a sustainable community is education – not just of students but of the entire family. Our school provides a safe, quality education for children pre-k through eighth grade and plays a vital role in the community by offering a beacon of hope and a pathway to a brighter future through education.

Part of my daughter's homework every day is to read for 15 minutes. I usually have her do the reading instead of me reading to her. The other night I captured a video of her reading the story of Creation, and I sent to several friends and family. The overwhelming response I got back was a resounding, "WOW! She is reading so well!" And I replied, "This is the difference between a private Catholic school and a public or even charter school." And yes, all my nieces and nephews attend either public or charter schools. My niece and nephew who are in 2nd grade are not reading as well as me daughter.

You cannot find a better academic and whole child education than SPSA. Period.

Needs

Did you know that SPSA is self-funded? SPSA's unique status means that we rely on the generosity of individuals to sustain our commitment to excellence. Without parish financial support, we turn to individuals like you to make a lasting impact. Your support isn't just an investment in education; it's an investment in our community's future leaders.

The time is now. Join us in shaping brighter futures! As we begin a new academic year, we seek your investment in our students.

At SPSA, we believe that economic circumstances should never limit a child's access to a transformative Catholic education.

Contributions to SPSA on NTX Giving Day are a lifeline for our Annual Fund. Your involvement ripples across every facet of Academy life. From nurturing a holistic learning environment to dismantling financial barriers, empowering parents, and fostering teacher growth - your support is a testament to shared aspirations. Join us as we script a legacy of empowerment.

Our top funding priorities are:

💜- Sustainability for SPSA

💜- Support for Teacher Salaries

💜- Removing Tuition Barrier

WHO WE ARE

St. Philip & St. Augustine Catholic Academy was formed to provide students in Southeast Dallas with an excellent, rigorous, whole-child education. Many of the families we serve would not be able to afford a Catholic education if not for tuition assistance. The cost to educate a student at SPSA is $8,724 and our tuition is set at $6,100. We rely on grants and donors to fill the gap so that we can continue to provide our students with opportunities they would not otherwise receive.

ACADEMY MODEL

The Academy Model serves Catholic Students from all parishes, as well as non-Catholics, and is operated as a stand-alone non-profit organization. Leadership is provided by a Principal and a school board that serves at the pleasure of the Bishop of the Diocese of Dallas.
