Welcome New Students!

We welcome your interest in our school and look forward to answering your questions.

We pursue our mission seriously at St. Anthony of Padua School, where we work in partnership with families to enable children of all faiths to grow through our comprehensive preschool through eighth grade program of spiritual and intellectual development.

Generations of children in southern Indiana have graduated from our school since its founding in the 1850s. Browse through the points below or download our school brochure and see why St. Anthony of Padua School is still the smart choice for private education in southern Indiana in the 21st century.
