History
Situated in Raleigh's historic Oakwood community, the College began life as Saint Augustine's Normal School and Collegiate Institute. The school was established by the Episcopal Church in order to educate former slaves. Early curricula emphasized Christian-based instruction for both children and adults, while also preparing young men for service in the ministry. As well as basic education and theological training, the school also prepared promising young people for future training at four-year colleges and universities.
Today, St. Aug boasts an official enrollment of about 1,600 students, hailing from thirty-seven states and about thirty other countries around the globe. It is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in Decatur, Georgia.
