Fine Arts & Gymnasium
The fine arts and physical education are not extras at St. Anthony of Padua; they are disciplines with their own integrity. Art trains sight and judgment. Music trains listening. Gym trains the body and the will. Each is a pathway in the cultivation of what is most human.
Music
Training the listening soul
Our music program, built on the Archdiocese of Denver music curriculum, teaches children to sing well, to read what they sing, and to listen with attention. The school choir serves the liturgy — the highest purpose of music — and the seasons of the Church year set our song.
Gymnasium
Iliad Athletics
Physical education at SAP follows the Iliad Athletics program: children learn to play hard, play fair, and honor opponents — virtues that last long after the game ends. Our gymnasium hosts physical education for every form, all-school assemblies, and community celebrations.
Art & the trained eye
Art
Sight and judgment
The Archdiocese of Denver art curriculum trains children to see — line, color, form — and to make beautiful work with their own hands.
Observation
Nature studies
Alongside art, children draw what they observe in gardens and seasons, uniting sight with reverence.
Beauty
Made for delight
Students learn that beauty is not decoration; it is a name of God and a delight worth pursuing for its own sake.
