Carthage Augustinian Academy is a Catholic school founded in the tradition of the Sisters of St. Joseph. The faculty and staff are dedicated to providing an excellent, wholistic education for each child based on Gospel values and on New York State Standards. Real commitment to Catholic education and a loyalty to the school are so evident in Augustinian Academy and St. James Parish. Family names that span generations are present in the school today along with a very welcome and active presence of military families from nearby Fort Drum. The school children are not only well-educated in academic subjects but formed lovingly and carefully in their Catholic faith and values.
