St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School

74 years ago, St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School was founded to provide life-changing, educational opportunities for the African-American community of West Greenville, SC.  While Greenville has changed, and our parish and school along with it, what has not changed is our unwavering commitment to Catholic education as a powerful instrument for the evangelization of culture.  

This year, we seek to create spaces where children can thrive in God's love—through joyful play, wonder-filled learning, and innovative discovery.  Any additional monies after these projects have been completed will go to tuition assistance and the general operation of the school.  We appreciate your prayerful consideration of support as we Weave a Bright Future for our students!

Who We Are

The renewal of Catholic education begins with recovering its deepest purpose: to initiate the young, by an integral formation, into a new life—the mystery of Redemption. St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School seeks to raise up a new generation of students—faithful, free, and joyful—whose minds seek truth, whose hearts love goodness, and whose imaginations are captivated by beauty.

St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School participates in the evangelizing mission of the Parish and the Diocese of Charleston by forming the hearts, minds, and spirits of students in the truth and love of Jesus Christ. We share in the Church’s vocation to teach, to serve, and to witness - cultivating wisdom, virtue, and holiness through the integration of faith and reason; culture and life.

Faithful to the Christian understanding of the human person, which animates the educational mission of the Catholic Church, we are committed to providing a liberal education that inspires wonder, cultivates wisdom, and draws out excellence. Upon this foundation, our students are formed as disciples of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
