Catholic Schools Week 2026
While the weather and snow had other plans for the start of our week, Padua Academy is still excited to celebrate Catholic Schools Week 2026 alongside Catholic schools across the country. Guided by the theme “United in Faith & Community,” we reflect on the value of Catholic education and the heart of the Padua experience—our four pillars of Spirituality, Scholarship, Service, and Sisterhood.
Scholarship
Padua Academy is committed to academic excellence that prepares students for college and beyond. Through a rigorous, future-focused curriculum, hands-on learning, and meaningful opportunities both inside and outside the classroom, Padua students develop critical thinking, strong communication skills, and confidence. With 100% of graduates continuing to higher education, scholarship is a defining strength of the Padua experience.
Spirituality
Faith is at the center of life at Padua Academy. Rooted in the Catholic tradition and inspired by the gentle strength of St. Francis de Sales and St. Francis of Assisi, students are encouraged to grow deeper in their spiritual journey through prayer, reflection, liturgy, and service. By learning more about God’s hope for them, our students come to better understand themselves and who they are called to be.

Service
Inspired by our patron saints, service is a way of life at Padua. Students are called to live their faith through action, engaging in meaningful service opportunities that allow them to give back, explore their passions, and make a positive impact. Through leadership, clubs, and community outreach, Padua students learn the value of compassion, responsibility, and service to others.

Sisterhood
The Padua Sisterhood is the foundation of our community. Built on friendship, respect, and support, it is woven into every aspect of student life—from classrooms and athletics to the arts and retreats. The bonds formed at Padua last far beyond graduation, connecting generations of young women who continue to uplift and inspire one another.
