Mission, Vision, Values
“Rooted in the dignity of the human person, St. Anthony of Padua welcomes all students to an education that inspires wonder, cultivates wisdom, and draws out spiritual and academic excellence, growing as disciples of Jesus Christ.”
Our Mission
Our Vision
One unified vision of education
St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School's educational plan is a single unified vision: education as discipleship, curriculum as formation, and learning as preparation for worship.
Our students are invited into a historically grounded Catholic culture, taught through integrated disciplines, mentored in the Christian life, and formed by classical pedagogy into persons who are faithful, free, and joyful — ready to serve God and neighbor with wisdom, virtue, and love.
Our Values
What we cultivate
Worship
Adoration
The liturgy is the summit of education. Everything we do is ordered toward right worship of God.
Wonder
Attention
We train memory, attention, and a desire to know — the beginning of all real learning.
Wisdom
Integration
Knowledge gathered into one view of reality. The disciplines cohere; faith and culture are one.
Dignity
Welcome
Every child is received as a person made in God's image, known by name and cherished.
Community
Joy
Gospel joy marks our halls — a warmth inherited from our parish's African American spirituality.
Service
Mission
Formation issues in love of neighbor: service to family, parish, and the city of Greenville.
