It's not hard to find a group to fit in with at Padua Academy. The school offers a variety of rigorous courses so that everyone can find something they are interested in. These courses are also taught by educated, full-time teachers that enjoy teaching the classes. They are interactive and care about the students, connecting with them each time. Padua Academy also offers many extracurriculars and clubs, some of which are student-run. These groups cover a variety of interests, from sports to art to mathematics and science. However, the school limits each student to 2-3 clubs. The reasoning behind this was to lower stress on the students, but many have found that it actually makes the students look inactive to colleges. Other than that, the students are generally friendly, and the school works to encourage sisterhood in everyone. They host events like spirit days and dances like Winterball for everyone to connect. In terms of the covid situation, Padua has been handling it mediocrely.
Excellent school that prepared my daughters very well for college. They both were awarded huge college scholarships to many great schools. Their college transitions were easy because Padua prepared them so well. They were both involved in many activities at Padua and loved their years there. The sisterhood can not be found anywhere else. For those concerned with no interaction with male students, my daughters had many, many friends at Salesianum. They attended countless sporting events, Salsthon, dances, proms, etc. at Sallies. To this day, they are still friends with many of their Salesianum friends. We are look forward to being back at Padua in two years with our youngest daughter!
At Padua Academy, I am met with an academically-motivated peer group as well as dedicated and passionate teachers. I am receiving a transformative education that has refined my public speaking skills, my writing skills, my leadership abilities, my ability to work with a group, and my academic skills. The myriad of extracurricular activities and clubs that are offered cater to the interests of all students, and as a French Club leader, students in action service leader, National Honors Society Leader, Tennis Captain, Blue-Gold Ambassador, Student Ambassador, and math league participant, I have found my place in my school community. At Padua, students are encouraged to diligently pursue their academic interests while also participating in extracurricular activities such as sports, theater, and volunteering. Students receive a transformative educational experience and are prepared for college and beyond.
