Template:Infobox School St. Gregory's Academy was an all-male Roman Catholic boarding school in Elmhurst, Pennsylvania. It was associated with the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, and offered a threefold education: spiritual, intellectual, and physical. Students participated in traditional Roman Catholic liturgy, were provided with intellectual formation, and were given the opportunity to participate in competitive high-school level athletics (soccer and rugby). Students participating on those teams won a Pennsylvania Rugby State Championship, and Patric Audino was named a USA Eagle Rugby Player. The academy was closed at the end of the 2011-2012 academic year.
The purpose of St. Gregory's Academy was taken from Pope Pius XI’s Divini Illius Magistri:
"The specific and immediate purpose of Christian education is to cooperate with divine grace in forming the true and perfect Christian… the true Christian, the product of Christian education, is simply the supernatural man: the man who feels, judges and acts always and consistently in accordance with right reason enlightened by the example and teaching of Jesus Christ."
