Our school is committed to educating the whole child while collaborating and adapting instruction to meet the needs of all students.


At St. Anthony our general objectives are:

• To develop in all students a respect for the rights of others as individuals and groups;

• To assist our students in developing an appreciation for art, music, literature, and other areas of the fine arts;

• To assist our students in acquiring a sense of responsibility for themselves, the community in which they live, and the world community;

• To assist our students in acquiring critical thinking and problem-solving skills which will enable them to meet the challenges of the future;
