Template:Infobox school St. Gregory's Academy is an all-male Roman Catholic boarding school in Elmhurst, Pennsylvania.
The present Gregory the Great Academy is the unofficial successor to St. Gregory's Academy, which was opened by the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter in 1993. In 2012, the Fraternity made the decision to close the school; in response, members of the school community (including faculty and alumni) decided to found a new school. While the current school was born out of the community of the prior school, it has no official connection with it, or with the Fraternity which formerly operated it.[1]
It promised a threefold education: spiritual, intellectual, and physical. Students participated in traditional Roman Catholic liturgy, were provided with intellectual formation based on the Integrated Humanities Program, and competed in high-school level soccer and rugby. Students participating on those teams won a Pennsylvania Rugby State Championship, and Patrick Audino was named a USA Eagle Rugby Player.
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."
