The Mission of Padre Pio Academy (grades K - 12th) as a private school loyal to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church
consecrated to the Holy Mother of God, and committed to proclaiming the sacredness of all human life, is to serve,
supplement, and support families in their primary mission of educating their children. In cooperation with parents, Padre Pio
Academy prepares young people for college but, most importantly, for life by striving for a thorough formation as Catholics -
body, mind, heart, and soul. The Academy strives to develop young Catholics who are rooted in truth and virtue, while
inspiring them to seek intellectual, spiritual, aesthetic, and physical excellence in all their various school activities. The goals of
our mission will be accomplished by:
Offering both a Classical and Catholic curriculum, which will be permeated with the Catholic truths.

Providing access to
Mass, Holy Communion and the Sacrament of Penance.

Providing the services of a

Developing comprehensive
sports and extracurricular programs.

Cultivating mutually
