Welcome to
St. Anthony of Padua!
Since our founding in 1925, St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School & Pre-School has been committed to providing a comprehensive education that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. Nestled on the picturesque banks of Lake Erie in Lorain, Ohio, our school serves over 250 students from Pre-School through 8th grade. Our mission is to cultivate a community of learners who are prepared to face the future with faith, knowledge, and integrity.
At the heart of our school is the Parish School Crest, which symbolizes our commitment to our students and our faith. The Coat of Arms of St. Anthony of Padua Parish, featured at the center of the crest, serves as a constant reminder of our mission to educate our children in both the physical and spiritual realms. The surrounding ribbon, inscribed with the words Faith, Community, Academics, and Service, encapsulates the core values we strive to instill in our students every day.

what our families are saying
“All 3 of our children attended the St. Anthony pre-school program. We would highly recommend St. Anthony to anyone with little ones. We can’t say enough about the caring teachers and office staff. They instilled a joy for school in our kids that I don’t know they would have gotten from another program. We couldn’t have made a better choice for our children to start their education.”
Lindsey & Omar Perez
Thoughts on Little Trojans Pre-School
“We can’t say enough good things about this pre-school, and we would absolutely recommend St. Anthony’s Little Trojans Pre-School. Choosing this program was the best decision we made for our daughter. It helped her blossom academically and made learning a joy—she was always excited and eager to go to school each day. The teacher and staff at St. Anthony’s are absolutely incredible. We are so thankful for the positive experience we had!”
