Our Philosophy, Mission & Goals Who, Where & When: School Staff, Hours and Location Our History St. Anthony Alumni	Welcome to St. Anthony School, a Catholic co-educational elementary school providing education to children from preschool through 8th grade. Philosophy: St. Anthony School is a Catholic faith-centered community within the larger parish family. We strive daily to create a suitable atmosphere in which students are formed with mature, open-minded, Christian attitudes.  We believe in the tremendous dignity of each individual. No two students are exactly alike. Therefore, each student brings his or her uniqueness to the learning situation. It is our conviction that each student has a specific level of spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional development. So, we strive to provide a succession of positive experiences enabling each child to fully develop his or her potential.  Logical discipline and consistency, which are aspects of orderly learning, are therefore stressed in St. Anthony School.  Finally, we believe in the sincere, whole-hearted support and cooperation of the parents who have entrusted their children to our care. School Mission Statement: St Anthony School: Building a legacy of academic excellence by educating each student in the Catholic faith one class at a time. “From the first moment that a student sets foot in a Catholic school, he or she ought to have the impression of entering a new environment, one illumined by the light of faith and having its own unique characteristics, an environment permeated with the Gospel spirit of love and freedom…..” The Religious Dimension of Education in a Catholic School, #25 Goals: In order that all parts of the school program are in harmony with the Philosophy, we strive towards the following goals: To promote the goals of Catholic education, namely: To communicate the message of the gospel To teach the religious truths of the Catholic Church To develop a faith community and provide worship activities To motivate the student to service To respect the uniqueness and gifts of each teacher in supportive collaboration and service in the ministry of education.  To accept the students as they are, take them from where they are and to challenge them to know they can do more. To assist each student in feeling secure and self-confident in his/her abilities. To introduce children to varied experiences and give them meaningful responsibilities which lead to  self-discipline so that the individual can achieve growth and maturity -- spiritually, morally, psychologically, physically, academically and socially.  To encourage the student to share with his/her family the gospel values being developed in his/her life at St. Anthony School. To reach out to students and parents in a spirit of warmth, welcome, understanding, and compassion.
