Subiaco Academy is a Catholic, college-preparatory boarding and day school for young men in grades eight through twelve.
Drawing on the rich educational heritage and philosophy of the Benedictine Order, Subiaco provides an environment that is academically well rounded, structured, and challenging for every student.
Our community is a diverse one, with students coming from around the country and the world. In the last few years, nine different countries have been represented. The mixture of languages, cultures, ideas and experiences is a vital aspect of learning, and an important aspect of the "Subiaco Experience."

Dorm Facilities
Subiaco Academy believes that for students to successfully achieve, completely learn, and vibrantly strive in a boarding school structure, the students must live in an atmosphere that ensures that these qualities are enhanced. The administration, faculty, and staff must provide an environment which is safe and structured as well as interjected with the Catholic Benedictine traditions which make the Academy unique.
The Subiaco Academy residential staff is headed by the Dean of Men, an administrative employee, who oversees the entire residential life program. The Dean of Men lives on campus in a house provided by the Academy which enables the Academy to have a twenty-four hour administrator on campus.
The Academy employs seven residential deans—two per 3 dorm floors and one on smaller floor. While on duty, the residential deans are on continuous call and live in the dean’s quarters on the hall with the students. At present, the residential deans are composed of six lay persons and one monastic member. Five deans also teach and two also coach. These residential deans are charged with daily supervision, discipline, and providing for the basic needs of the students. Based on the results of the self-study survey, nearly 70% of respondents felt that the quality of life and quality of activities provided to boarding students is adequate and appropriate.
Subiaco Academy enhances the experiences the boarding students receive in numerous ways. Education is the primary goal, thus the Academy finds it necessary to nurture a learning environment. Nightly study halls are conducted as well as Sunday morning study periods before Mass. A successful addition to the educational program is the Student Services program, which gives assisted study hall and individualized tutoring options to Academy students who may need specialized help.
The Academy has included in the school calendar certain scheduled days designated as Renaissance Days. These days are to provide the students with opportunities to learn specialty skills while also interacting with faculty members outside of normal classroom experiences.
The Academy also provides transportation for the students to local malls and discount stores for the purchase of basic needs and necessities or wants. The Academy also provides transportation to recreational activities such as lake trips and movie theatres. The students are encouraged to partake in camping excursions, hiking outings, kayaking, and canoeing for recreational enjoyment.
Subiaco Academy realizes the importance placed upon the safety and security of those who reside on campus. With this in mind, the Academy purchased and installed a camera security system as an aid in insuring student safety. This system records on motion, and to respect student privacy, is only monitored by the Dean of Men.

Campus Ministry
Spiritual formation is an important part of the Subiaco Academy experience. The campus ministry program is directly tied to the school’s mission of fostering growth in the Catholic Benedictine tradition of service to God and others.
According to the constituent survey, 100% of current parents feel the school has a strong commitment to moral values and character development. The Academy is fortunate to have a group of very gifted adults on campus who make up the Campus Ministry Committee.
The committee is made up of administrators, teachers, coaches, monks and deans. The committee includes clergy, religious and laity. The campus ministry activities are overseen by the Chaplain. Please see the Campus Ministry addendum for a listing of members and a partial list of activities available to the students.

Clubs and Activities
Subiaco Academy encourages membership in various clubs on campus that promote community service and the development of fraternal and cooperative relationships among the students in keeping with the school’s mission statement. These organizations all have a faculty advisor for guidance, but are run by students elected to leadership positions by their peer membership.
The clubs on campus are the Art Club, Blue Arrow, CASA (Cultural Awareness at Subiaco Academy) Club, Drama Club, National Honor Society, Quiz Bowl, Science Club, Spectrum Production Film Club, and the Student Council. These clubs meet as necessary during Teachers’ Assistance period, at lunch, and after school. The National Honor Society membership is elected by the faculty, the Blue Arrow requires recommendation by administration and faculty and is elected by current members, and the student council is elected by the student body.
The other organizations have open enrollment. These clubs successfully contribute to the school environment as is demonstrated by the constituent survey: 91.9% of current students feel a positive school spirit is evident. The survey also shows that 71.6% of current students feel well known by school, and 79.5% feel that the school has a caring and community environment.
The diversity of clubs on campus gives each student a place to belong and contribute his talents to not only the Subiaco Academy community but the local community as well. See the addendum for a description of each club and its service orientation.

Food and Laundry
The Food Service program operates in a spacious and well-furnished dining area. Italian marble floors and an airy open-plan design are particular assets that create a pleasant dining experience. The dining hall is community friendly, meaning it is a place where students can sit and talk in comfort.
A reduced lunch period has eliminated day students from serving on clean-up and dish crews at noon, but boarding students still serve in the evenings; the Academy feels this enhances community fellowship and helps students develop a respect for the value of hard work. It also gives the kitchen staff needed help.
