Celebrating More Than Two Decades of Classical Catholic Curriculum.
Padre Pio Academy teaches a classical, Catholic curriculum to students in grades K-12. We are a private, independent school founded by lay Catholics as well as a registered 501c3 charity organization. We welcome new students throughout the calendar year. Private tours available.

Magnifying Holiness
Our patron, Saint Padre Pio, referred to the Blessed Mother as “The Mediatrix of All Graces.” We turn to our perfectly humble and perfectly obedient Blessed Mother to learn how to best follow Jesus Christ. It was Mary who courageously said at the Incarnation, “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word,” and it is Mary’s soul that perfectly magnifies the greatness of the Lord.
At Padre Pio Academy, we teach students to extoll God’s greatness and to seek a state of holiness, amplified by a life of virtue, with the help of God's grace, the action of the Holy Spirit, and a life of prayer.
We do this by ascribing to three tenets that guide our methods and, in turn, enlighten our students.

Inspiring Wonder
Saint Thomas Aquinas observed that
“Wonder is the desire of knowledge.”
At Padre Pio Academy, this wonder leads us on
a joyful quest for knowledge. Our curriculum and our teachers are dedicated to inspiring wonder for God’s Creation, His Goodness, and His Beauty.
Pursuing Truth
Built upon the historical Trivium and Quadrivium, our classical Catholic curriculum provides a solid foundation for the pursuit of truth, manifested in Jesus Christ, who is The Truth. Our students are equipped with a coherent worldview, become adept at drawing conclusions logically, learn to express themselves articulately, and discover the harmony of the natural world through the lens of faith.
Igniting Faith
We seek to instill a love for Jesus Christ by offering a robust Christian formation and a rich sacramental life to our students, with daily prayer, devotions, regular confession, Mass, and Adoration. As St. Jean Baptiste de la Salle noted, “Your faith should be a shining light for those whom you teach.” Our faculty leads the way by modeling love for God and neighbor, nourishing virtue in our pupils, and faithfully teaching what is true, good, and beautiful.
