Padua Academy

Athletics

Padua Academy's extensive Division I Athletics Program promotes intelligence, leadership, sportsmanship, cooperation, and self-discipline. Padua’s student-athletes approach all endeavors with a commitment to excellence and an expectation of success, whether on the field, in the classroom, or in the larger community.

Welcome to Padua!

Padua's school motto, "Suaviter sed Fortiter," translates as "Softly, but Strongly" and describes the qualities of an educated woman: nurturing and responsive to the uniqueness of others, yet purposeful and determined, accepting a responsible role in the global community. At the heart of Padua's education are our four pillars: spirituality, scholarship, service and sisterhood. We hope you find your place on Broom Street!
