The education my daughter received was outstanding. She excelled in college and continues to volunteer. It was money well spent.
I now live else where on the east coast and have my children enrolled in another school, which is FAR better then Padua Academy could ever dream of being. I felt the school's ideal were to narrow, nor was the student body diverse, a very basic education, and rather old fashion for today's challenges.
I can not say enough great things about Padua Academy. My daughter was well prepared for college but also for life. The values and moral principles taught were in line what made her experience so special. My daughter loved the family atmosphere and the belief she is strong but soft still radiates in her life and work. This school is one of the best.
I am a Padua parent and an Alum. Great experiences both times. Padua is truly a special place and worth every penny!
I am a freshman and I love it. I went to Padua from public school and although it took time in order for me to make a transition I am doing much better then I could have did at a public school. Although it is all girls there is not a lot of drama and when you go there you just feel like it's where you belong!
I graduated from padua 2 years ago and it was the best time of my life.. I absolutely loved the school and the people. The teachers were all willing to help whenever and the sports program was awesome!.. Go padua soccer
Padua has excellent sports programs! I have always been impressed by their records. I believe they develop the minds of the next generation of women!
I am an upperclassmen at Padua and I love the vast opportunities in courses and activities. There is a lot of school spirt and it is easy to make friends. At Padua I receive a lot of help during my college search and I know I will prepared when I go to college. I could not be happier going here.
My daughter is a freshman at Padua and I couldn't be any happier! I absolutely love everything about the school. If your daughter is unsure about attending Padua, she should 'shadow' a student so she is able to see what a welcoming, involved and wonderful school that it is.
I am a Senior at Padua and I absolutely love it. I could not have asked for a better school! The school has nine, new teachers and they are all wonderful. This school is challenging in the academic area and also in the athletic area. The teachers really care about you and push you to showcase your greatest abilities.
