 Austrian School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Austrian School is a school of economic thought that rejects economists' overreliance on methods used in natural science for the study of human action, and instead bases its formalism on a logic of action known as "praxeology".
The Austrian School is generally associated with groups that label themselves classical liberals or libertarian in their ideas of social, political and economic organization.
Austrian economists developed a sense of themselves as a school distinct from neoclassical economics during the economic calculation debate, with Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich von Hayek representing the Austrian position, where they contended that without monetary prices or private property, meaningful economic calculation was impossible.

 School
The primary reason for closing the school, as it has been presented to me, is that the enrollment has dropped from 212 students as of June 21, 2005 to only 84 registered as of August 4, 2005.
The new school was staffed by the Sisters of the Catholic Apostolate (Pallotine).
Recently, however, the viability of the school has come into question, due to the parish's inability to sustain the very significant debt that would be associated with the sharp decline in enrollment that has developed since the end of the school year.
