Why St. Anthony?

 

Fostering Growth in Knowledge and Faith

Students at St. Anthony have the wonderful opportunity to experience both academic challenge and spiritual engagement throughout each school day. Each student in our school is encouraged to demonstrate personal initiative, engage in active learning, manage their time wisely and embrace their God-given gifts and talents. And, finally, each student is charged with using their faith-based education to help guide their thoughts, words and actions.

St. Anthony offers students the opportunity to learn in a Christian, faith-based environment, welcoming students from all faiths and backgrounds. In fact, 15% of the student population joins us from other parish families or faith communities.

We encourage you to consider Joining Our Tradition for the following reasons:

  • Christian, Faith-based Environment of Learning
  • Daily Prayer and Pledge of Alliance
  • Small Class Sizes
  • Technology Integration
  • 1:1 iPad Devices grades 4 – 8
  • Intellectual Challenge
  • Welcoming, Supportive Parent Network
  • Afterschool Programs
  • and More!

You do have a choice for your child’s education. Choose St. Anthony Grade School and Join Our Tradition!
