It is this tradition that makes Cistercian unique among Texas independent schools. Within a community, the Cistercians seek a life balancing prayer, academics, and service. This philosophy permeates the small, all-boys school in a variety of ways, including a comprehensive theology program, a rigorous curriculum, exciting opportunities in athletics and fine arts, and the promotion of voluntary service. Central to Cistercian’s uniqueness is the Form Master system. Each incoming class of fifth graders is assigned a Cistercian priest or layman. For the next eight years, this Form Master works closely with teachers and parents to oversee the personal, spiritual, and academic growth of the boys in his class. He works to provide a stable, supportive environment in which the boys can strive for excellence, grow in responsibility, celebrate diversity, and discover for themselves the importance of i ntegrity, gratitude, and magnanimity. Cistercian sincerely believes every boy’s spirit yearns for knowledge and community. The school seeks to nurture and develop this spirit through the challenges of adolescence so that each young man may go forward in life enkindled by a love of learning and service, and thereby enlighten the world.
