St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School 2510 Richmond Street Northwest, Grand Rapids, MI 49504

"My sons and I have been a part of the St Anthony community since 2013. We have formed bonds and gained many friendships, as well as grown in our faith. I personally experienced the benefits of a K-12 Catholic education, and knew I wanted to provide my kids with the same foundation. Every sacrifice has been worth it! I witness many ways our community has enriched our lives, and I know we are right where we belong."

"I attended St. Anthony as a student from 6th through 8th grade. The year prior I had attended a different school after my family had moved across town & it was a less than desirable experience. I was nervous to switch to a Catholic school and start all over again, but those years ended up being the best of my childhood. The teachers & staff genuinely cared about the students & wanted them to succeed. The entire school & church community was very welcoming. Everyone in our family made lifelong friends, and we are still in touch with former teachers & staff as well. So it was an easy decision for me 25 years later to send my oldest son to preschool there. It’s the perfect place for him to learn & grow within a caring community. I feel as though his teachers know him well & he’s not just lost in a sea of students. He hurries excitedly into school each day & can’t wait to tell me about his day afterward. We can’t wait to send our second son to preschool there this fall!"

"We really have enjoyed the school and community at St. Anthony of Padua. Education is important to us, and we have seen our children learn and grow so much with the help of the amazing teachers they have had and have. I am thankful to go to a place where I can communicate with the teachers and staff and they actually listen to what I have to say and are respectful. My kids have made such great friends as well. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for somewhere for their children."

"St. Anthony school is the perfect school for my kids, offering many opportunities in service and academic excellence. There are lots of good people and nice teachers. St. Anthony school makes us feel welcome and important."
