School Reviews

My husband and I have been very pleased with St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School. We had a horrific experience with another private Catholic school less than two miles from SAP and were SO relieved to find St. Anthony's is the polar opposite of that institution. We love the small class sizes and the inclusive environment. My daughter was welcomed with open arms and is doing very well academically. SAP offers a number of after school activities and the PTO puts on family events about once a month. The new principal seems to have a great vision for the school and I look forward to seeing how SAP's will grow and develop over the years!

We love St Anthony school in Greenville SC. My daughter is currently enrolled in the k-3 program. My daughter loves school! When she gets home from school she talks about all the activities and learning that has take place throughout the school day. My daughters speech and vocabulary has improved a lot as well. Everyone at this school is very nice and most of they all love the kids. From the gentlemen that assist the kids getting out of the car in the mornings to the teachers. This school is beautiful in the inside and the tuition is priced affordable for working families. We also love the late stay option. The children are always learning something new, doing fun activities and even traveling. We would recommend this school and are very happy with our choice.
