My son is a Pre-School student at Saint Anthony's and we both love it there. They are extremely welcoming and you can tell the hard work and effort they put into making each day memorable for the kids. He always comes home and sings songs about how much Jesus loves him. He has learned so many new things from learning how to write and spell his name to praying before we eat our meals. It really is amazing how much they involve God in their daily life. I'm very excited about my son's future at Saint Anthony's!

St. Anthony School has a wonderful reputation of which the school has truly built off of. The principal is energetic, talented and a fantastic addition to the school. The parish and parent community are supportive and the faith and academic curriculum is unmatched. I especially love the academic curriculum that the kids are really benefiting from. Their STEAM program not only addresses today's need for tomorrow's scientists and engineers but cultivates our future innovators and artists. St. Anthony's School is a gem in its teachers and staff the shine.

My son has been going to St. Anthony since he was at the preschool for 2 years (which is amazing) and is now in 4th grade and all of these years have been so awesome! Staff is great, and bonding with the wonderful parents is memorable. I look forward to the future for the few years we have left. My son comes from a split household and not once have i felt that we don't fit in. I love it!

St. Anthony's Preschool and school is absolutely amazing! The faculty and staff truly focus on the individuality of each child. Progress reports are given to monitor your child's progress. As a parent, I truly observed the love the staff has for their profession. The staff has tons of enthusiasm which is also seen by the students. The Christmas program, Easter Prayer Service, Mother's Day Tea, etc are beautiful events my daughter and I will cherish forever! The curriculum is great and also delivered in a age appropriate, fun learning environment!
