The Augustinian Secondary Education Association (ASEA) is an organization founded in 1986 to "foster unity, efficiency, and continued development within the Augustinian ministry to secondary education" in North America.[1] It operates without a budget, acting as a forum for member institutions to share resources, implement Augustinian ideals in the curriculum of its institutions, and to ensure that its member institutions present an "authentic Augustinian identity".[1] It is based in Ojai, California,[1] and reports to the Federation of Augustinians of North America (FANA). Its activity consists of informal networking and inservice programs, as well as annual meetings.[1]
ASEA has eleven member institutions, of which ten are in the United States and one is in Canada.
Austin Catholic Academy (Detroit, MI) founded 2011;
Austin Preparatory School (Reading, MA) founded 1961.
Of these, Austin Catholic Academy and St. Thomas of Villanova College are independently operated and not officially sponsored by the Augustinian Order.[2]
The association operates the Augustinian Values Institute, a program to define the mission and values for Augustinian schools.[3] The three core principles are "unitas", "veritas", and "caritas" (unity, truth, and charity).[4]
