'''St. Austin's Military School''' is a defunct American [[military academy]] formerly located in the [[West Brighton]] section of [[Staten Island]], [[New York (state)|New York]].
 
The school was founded in 1883 by the Rev. Alfred G. Mortimer with the name '''St. Austin's [[Episcopal Church (United States)|Episcopal]] School for Boys'''. The name of the school was soon changed to St. Austin's Military School. In 1898, it moved to [[Connecticut]] and was renamed the [[Salisbury schoolSchool]]. The [[Salisbury School]] is an elite all-boys preparatory boarding school situated in the northwest corner of [Connecticut]]. Its founder, George Emerson Quaile had become the headmaster of St. Austin's Military School and the age of twenty- eight and decided to rebuild the school on Frink hill, an apple farm, where the Main Buliding and Academic Quadrangle is situated now.
