St. Anthony Catholic School is fully accredited by the Texas Catholic Conference Education Department (TCCED) under the direction and standards established by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). The Texas Education Agency, due to its ever-increasing load in the accreditation of public schools in Texas has recognized the Texas Catholic Conference as one of its official extensions in the accreditation of private schools in Texas. The Texas Catholic Conference is a federation of all Roman Catholic dioceses with cities located in the state of Texas. The TCCED coordinates and supervises the accreditation of all Catholic schools on the State of Texas by the Texas Catholic Conference Accreditation Commission.
The non-Catholic applicant should understand, accept, and be willing to do the following:
Saint Anthony Catholic School admits students of any sex, race, color, nationality, ethnic origin and religion to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. The school does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, nationality, ethnic origin, or religion in admission policies, the administration of its educational policies, financial aid assistance, and other school administered programs.
The religion program at Saint Anthony Catholic School offers experience of faith, sharing, and worship through liturgy and prayer, opportunities of service, and formal instruction within the context of the Catholic Christian community. The process of catechesis leads both teacher and student to a deepening discovery to God. Knowledge of religion and living out of one’s faith is ongoing. What is begun here will take a lifetime to complete. The doctrine taught, the rituals celebrated, and the faith witnessed will lay the foundations for growth into adulthood with a mature, enlivened faith. In addition, children in the second grade are prepared for Sacrament of Reconciliation and in the third grade students are prepared for the Eucharist.
All students attend a weekly Children’s Mass on Wednesday mornings. Students are active participants in each Eucharistic Celebration as altar servers, choir members, and lectors.
St. Anthony Catholic School (Pre-K through 6th Grade): 8:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
