A Classical School in Harmony with Catholic Tradition.

There is perhaps no more loved and admired saint in the Catholic Church than Saint Anthony of Padua, a Doctor of the Church. Though his work was in Italy, he was born in Portugal.
Classical education forms students for a lifetime of learning, virtue, and service. By emphasizing foundational knowledge, critical thinking, articulate communication, and moral character, it helps children become thoughtful, disciplined, and well-rounded young men and women. At St. Anthony Academy, our classical Catholic approach inspires students to seek truth, appreciate beauty, and pursue excellence in all areas of life.
Our mission is to educate students in wisdom and virtue through a classical education in harmony with Catholic tradition.
We seek the formation of the whole child—mind, body, and soul—by cultivating a love for truth, goodness, and beauty. Instruction is rooted in the liberal arts, the study of great works of Western civilization, and the teachings of the Catholic faith, including the foundational instruction of the Baltimore Catechism.
Through daily prayer, including a student-led Rosary, the practice of traditional Catholic devotions, and intentional moral formation, we aim to foster habits of discipline, reverence, and responsibility. Students are encouraged to grow in knowledge, humility, and charity as they develop both intellectually and personally.
Our goal is to prepare students not only for academic excellence, but for lives of integrity and service—forming young men and women capable of clear thinking, virtuous action, and faithful leadership.

It takes a small army of dedicated, trained and prayerful individuals to make the Academy this unique oasis of learning!
"We are formed by environment and grace, by politics and prayer, by church and conscience. All God's creatures conspire to teach us as well. We stumble. We stutter. We rise. We are lifted."
