Father Michael Henry first opened St. Anthony School in 1952, and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet have been providing parish students with a solid educational foundation ever since.  The oldest private school in Kailua, St. Anthony's has nurtured more than 13,000 pre-kindergarten children and students in kindergarten through eighth grade with its energized classroom environment.

The parish school is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and certified by the Western Catholic Education Association (WCEA).  St. Anthony students excel in both academic and personal development and graduates are well received at all major Oahu private secondary schools, including Catholic and non-Catholic high schools. 

Teachers, administration, support staff, parish and parents all contribute to the school's success, collectively forming an educational foundation that supports students' spiritual, moral, emotional, social, intellectual, and physical growth.

St. Anthony School provides a Christian environment in which students are encouraged to become responsible citizens of our nation and world, conscious of their personal obligations to themselves and to others - enabling them to make correct choices and become contributing members of the larger world community.

Students learn respect for God, parents, teachers and each other.  Likewise, teachers treat students as an individual, nurturing confidence and self-esteem.
