Saint Anthony Academy is the only Classical Catholic school in Northern Virginia for grades K-8. The Academy was founded to provide the student with an education that is based on the classical Trivium and also one with the mind of Holy Church. The Church teaches that the natural world is God’s creation and the more a student knows about the world, the more he will know, love and serve God. A true Catholic education must reject modernism and be based on Sacred Tradition as embodied in the Traditional Latin Mass. Consistent with the mind of the Church, the Academy seeks to deliver to the student an academically rigorous course of study such that the student is prepared to undertake further studies at the college level if desired. The Academy accepts the duty of preparing the student to conduct his life in conformance with God’s plan for him.
