Academics
Global Education
Padua Academy cultivates global leaders through international trips and exchanges.
Teacher-led trips to international destinations enable juniors and seniors to explore class curriculum on a deeper level and become engaged global citizens. From studying Irish history in Dublin to practicing language skills in the South of Spain, Padua students gain a deeper appreciation for other cultures, an integral part of a transformational college preparatory experience.
Past trips include Ecuador and Galapagos Islands, Spain, France, Ireland, and Peru.

Salesian Exchange
Padua Academy is honored to carry on the tradition of participating in the Salesian Exchange Program. This program affords juniors and seniors the opportunity to travel to schools in Austria, France, and Uruguay that are similarly rooted in the values of St. Francis de Sales. Through home stay arrangements, students gain exposure to different cultures while connecting with international students who share Salesian values.
International Students
Padua Academy welcomes international students to apply for admission. Beginning in 10th grade, international students matriculate through Padua’s rigorous academic program in preparation for advanced study at the university level. International students are assigned a college advisement and guidance counselor who is adept at international student college placement. Padua’s World Languages Department offers ESL (English as a Second Language) support at least twice per week during the school day.
Padua families serve as hosts, allowing international students to fully experience life in the United States. International students develop long-lasting friendships with Padua students, families, and faculty and acquire the necessary skill and insight to become members of a global community.
