Welcome to a New Year of Wonder

The school year at St. Anthony of Padua does not begin with a checklist; it begins with a prayer. On the first morning, the whole community gathers, the crucifix processes into the hall, and we ask — as Catholic schools have asked for centuries — that everything we do this year be ordered toward God.

Then the forms are called. Each form — our multi-age learning communities — becomes a small household for the year. Older students take up the work of leading; younger students find belonging. The books arrive, and with them the long, patient labor of attention.

This year our community continues to grow. We give thanks for every family who has entrusted a child to us, and we invite every parent to visit, to pray with us, and to see what a Catholic liberal education looks like on an ordinary Tuesday morning.
