Overview
Saint Anthony of Padua School is a Ministry of St.
Anthony's Faith Community which proclaims the Good news to young people.
This is done by educating the whole child as an individual within a Christian environment and developing in him/her an awareness of himself/herself with an emphasis on his/her potential as well as his/her limitations, therefore, assisting him/her to develop a value system which will prepare him/her to live to the fullest now, and grow into adulthood according to the mature measure of Christ.
Administration, teachers and the Parish community are concerned with the development of the whole child: academically, emotionally, morally, physically, socially and spiritually.
The teacher at St. Anthony's strive to be an example of Christian living.
The teacher is a director of learning, an instructor, an examiner, a role model and a reporter of the child's progress.
