Dear ASBA School Community,

Many, many thanks for your participation in and support of our Prayer Walk last week. Your support and commitment truly enriched the experience and exemplified the spirit of our close-knit school community.

As we walked together, it was evident how our collective efforts can make a profound impact on the changes we wish to see within our school and beyond. It is this unity and shared purpose that empowers us to foster an environment of growth and support for our scholars.

I am incredibly grateful to serve such a dedicated and caring community. Our community's nurturing spirit not only inspires others but also opens new doors for our students, allowing them to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. I mean, just look at these faces & testimonies! This is truly special and I am so thankful that we were able to share this message broadly.

Thank you once again for your commitment to our mission and for being such an integral part of our community. Together, we are making a difference!

Warm regards,

Jessica L. Taylor, Principal

Academy of St. Benedict the African

Built on Love, Hope, Spirituality, and Excellence

I am challenging all homerooms to participate in an October Book Challenge! 📙🎃

For each challenge completed by either an individual student or the class as a whole, the homeroom will earn points. The homeroom with the most points at the end of the month will earn FREE GOODIE BAGS! A description of how points will be awarded is included in the flyer image below.

How many has your scholar completed?

Consistent attendance is crucial for our students' success, as each day of learning builds on the last. Tardiness, absences, and early dismissals can lead to gaps in knowledge and understanding, making it harder for students to keep up with their peers. When parents and guardians partner with us to prioritize attendance, we create a stronger foundation for our scholars’ academic growth. To support this, we’re excited to introduce an attendance incentive program as one of the many ways we will celebrate our students’ achievements. Together, let’s encourage regular attendance and ensure that our children thrive in their learning journey!

The success of our Catholic school hinges upon the commitment of families to make Catholic education a financial priority, be involved in their child’s education, and make their tuition and fees payment(s) on a timely basis.

Tuition payments are due on the dates stipulated in the Tuition Agreement Contact or on the dates arranged by an alternative payment plan. Academy Of St Benedict The African, via FACTS, will send monthly bills and statements. Our tuition payments are due on the 17th of each month. Please review our Tuition Policy 2024-2025 linked here. A copy of this policy will also be going home with all Scholars tomorrow.

We thank you for your continued partnership and dedication to our school community!
