Join a Mission That Sees Christ in Others

Subiaco Abbey is a Roman Catholic monastery founded in 1878 as part of the missionary efforts of the Archabbey of St. Meinrad in Indiana and the Archabbey of Maria Einsiedeln in Switzerland. We are located on 1,600 acres nestled in the foothills of the Ouachita mountains of Arkansas, USA. We take the ancient monastic vows of stability, conversatio morum (ongoing conversion to the monastic way of life), and obedience. Preferring nothing whatsoever to Christ, we dedicate ourselves, under the Rule of St. Benedict and an Abbot, to strive to support one another in community, to serve God, the Church, and the larger society. Begun 1,500 years ago, we Benedictine monks number just under 7,400 and are located in over 280 abbeys throughout the world. Like the early Apostles who lived and worked together whilst sharing everything in common, we continue to seek God by following that biblical example found in the Acts of the Apostles and codified by Saint Benedict into a way of life known as Benedictine Monasticism. Our primary work is communal and private prayer, with our secondary apostolates of Education and Hospitality.

If you feel called to partner with us in this wonderful mission of Jesus Christ and to know that your daily life can be fulfilling in serving Him, then we would encourage you to read further and consider the following employment opportunities as a partner in our mission and ministries.

Paid Education for a Son or Grandson

SUBIACO CHILD AND GRANDCHILD EDUCATION PROGRAM: This program provides tuition-free day school education at Subiaco Academy for the son or grandson of any full-time employee. Each request would be at the discretion of the Abbot and the student will still need to meet the normal admission requirements of Subiaco Academy. Then, the family will need to apply:

for the Arkansas LEARNS Program (if the son/grandson is a resident of Arkansas),
the ACE Scholarship Fund, and
our Tuition Assistance Fund.

If the employee cannot pay the associated uniform costs, they may request financial assistance from the Abbot through our Almoner account. If the son or grandson resides outside the state of Arkansas, the Head of School may discuss a boarding option where the prospective student could reside at no cost as a full-time boarder in our dormitories.
