Where Faith and Learning Grow Hand-in-Hand - The Catholic Christian Community of St. Anthony of Padua welcomes all to our celebration of God's love.
Through prayer, education, sacraments, caring and stewardship, we strive to serve the needs of God's people and to gain a richer understanding of the gospel message of love.
School PhilosophySaint Anthony School strives to provide
students with the best Catholic education and formation
possible. Focusing on the holistic development of each
student, the school program includes comprehensive instruction in
the academic subjects and in the dogmas, doctrines, and values of
the Catholic faith, which are integrated into all academic areas of
the curriculum. While striving for academic excellence, Saint
Anthony School provides opportunities for intellectual, spiritual,
moral, social, cultural, and physical development. Saint
Anthony School acknowledges that parents, who have the primary
responsibility for the moral and religious development of their
children, are partners with the school and the entire Christian
Community in the continuing educative process. Mission
StatementSaint Anthony School is a diocesan-administered
Kindergarten through Eighth grade school serving the Catholic
community of Fresno. As a ministry of St. Anthony of Padua
Parish, the school exists to instill the morals, values, and
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. Our integrated
academic, spiritual, and extracurricular programs provide an
environment, which fosters the formation of the hearts and minds of
students in truth, knowledge, service, and wisdom.
Decades ago private schools could have been accused of being elitist. You had to have money to attend. The student populations were fairly homogeneous. Fortunately that has changed.
