Opportunity!
If you can host a student from Guatemala for 7 weeks, please let me know. It’s an awesome experience for you and them, and really helps immerse them in the English language. They would live with your family and go to school with us each day. Please check out the links below and the quick video from a student that is coming to Iowa. These are very well behaved and well mannered students.
Si usted puede patrocinar a un alumno de Guatemala por 7 semanas, por favor, hágamelo saber. Es una experiencia maravillosa para ustedes y ellos y realmente le ayuda a estar inmersos en el idioma inglés. Los alumnos vivirían con su familia y vendrían a la escuela todos los días. Por favor, mire los documentos añadidos y el video de un estudiante que viene a Iowa. Estos son alumnos educados y bien portados.
DISCOVER THE DIFFERENCE! - CORE AND MORE
St. Anthony offers so much more than a common core aligned curriculum. Check out these five reasons to explore
St. Anthony for your child:
FAITH: Christ is the "principal" of St. Anthony. Learning the Catholic faith and respecting one other is reinforced every day.
COMMUNITY: Our dedicated teachers give each child individualized attention and welcome each family into a warm,
supportive community. This sense of belonging helps students feel more secure when circumstances are beyond their control, allowing them to focus on their education.
PERSONALIZED INSTRUCTION: Whether it’s in person or from a distance, our schools provide a caring, creative and quality learning environment personalized for each student. We challenge students to aim higher academically, spiritually and personally.
VALUES: We teach love, care and concern for others as a part of our curriculum. Students in all grades have the opportunity to participate in community service and mission projects. Values of respect, discipline, diligence and compassion are instilled
in all students.
ACCESSIBLE: We offer tuition assistance to help families afford tuition, including a Welcome Tuition Grant for public-school transfer students.
To Request a Tour of the School and/or Meet with the Principal, please call or email:
