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.
In order to determine if the students can accept the philosophy of St.
Anthony's, the first marking period is considered a probationary period, during which time the school reserves the right to recommend changes and adjustments that may be suited to the individual child.
Our aim is to prepare our students to function successfully at the religious, intellectual, psychological, social, physical and moral level.
