My schools education is really good. The classes are rigorous and it keeps me working hard. Although it's a lot of work, I can appreciate how my school prepares me for college. I love the academics and educational aspects of my school. My social life is not as great. I have few friends and it's sometimes hard to go to an all girls school since high school girls can be hard to get along with. Other than that, I love my school and the academics.

Padua Academy has changed my morals in life socially, physically, and spiritually. The teaching staff are more than educators. They get to know each and every student to help them exceed academically and with wise words. I have seen myself try harder to prepare myself to be successful. The girls I have grown close to feel like family and support one another through the ways of life.

Padua was a beautiful experience. Attending this school not only prepared me for college but they led a path for me so I was mentally, financially, and emotionally stable.

This school is an embarrassment. There is little or no critical thinking, nor is there likely to be anytime in the future because there is no willingness to change the school culture. In a nutshell, this school does not empower young ladies, but actually has the opposite effect. The curriculum is we...

Sure, Padua Academy HAD wonderful teachers, but more and more of the iconic staff is leaving due to the changes in Padua and the unfair treatment to staff and some students who do not meet administrations 'ideal student' requirements. The teachers I encountered, specifically in the language departme...

OK, this is a academic school for girls that are academically advanced. Every year the number of applicants grows. My daughter loves this school, however, coming from public school I am not sure how much information gathering goes into "accepting' a student. There is a placement test the girls take...
