Our Philosophy

 

At the St. Anthony of Padua School, we believe that the child we educate has both a soul and a body and is endowed with intellect and free will.  Therefore, we aim to provide for the ongoing spiritual, intellectual, aesthetic, cultural, religious, emotional, and physical development of each student, both as an individual and as a member of society.

 

We, the faculty and staff, recognize that we share with the parents the responsibility for assuring a child’s development into a mature Catholic.  We seek to equip each student with the background and skills necessary to fully develop his/her potential within a multi-cultural, multi-economic setting.  The faculty dedicates itself to constant self-improvement and endeavors to foster in each person a love for learning and a sense of responsibility for his/her education and actions.  The purpose of these endeavors is to enable the student to live a life enriched by his/her educational experiences and to facilitate the student to effectively strive for the ultimate goal which is eternal happiness.
