Padua Franciscan High School
Padua Franciscan High School, a Catholic, college preparatory school, committed to the traditions and values of Saint Francis and Saint Clare of Assisi, educates young men and women within a community where all are challenged to achieve academic excellence and to live out a lifelong commitment to Christ in holiness and learning.

The focus of what we do is Christ-centered as modeled by Saint Anthony of Padua and Saint Francis and Saint Clare of Assisi. To embrace human dignity is to respect and honor each individual as a person created in the image and likeness of God. The doctrines and the moral values followed by the Roman Catholic Church are integral to all facets of Padua Franciscan High School.

As a parent of three young men who graduated from Padua, I can attest that they were well prepared for college and the world beyond. All three have wonderful and diverse careers that they enjoy.

As an alumni, employee and current parent of a sophomore, I am proud to be a part of the Padua family! Students receive an excellent education that will prepare them for college. Franciscan values and the importance of community are taught and modeled by faculty and staff.

Padua Franciscan High School is an excellent school with a reputation for preparing today's high school students for the challenges of college and beyond. They have an excellent academic record, professional educators and staff, and a campus that continues to be updated. Their nationally recognized MedTrack program prepares students for a career in the medical fields and they have excellent sports teams and club activities. Give them a look if you are considering private schools and want to instill strong Franciscan values in your children.

Extremely rude staff and teachers. They wanted me for a teaching job and the day of the interview, the lady had to cancel. They rescheduled and I called their office the following day to make sure they really wanted to do it. The office acted like it was a chore for them when I asked them if the interview was still on. They told me that the interview was cancelled again. This time it was when I was in my car and halfway to the interview site. BTW, during the whole process they tried to hide their name the whole time by saying that they were hiring for a "private school in Parma." Now I know why

I left a 5 star rating in 2015 when our oldest was a junior. In 2017, I am back to offer comment that Padua is worth it. The education, support, and college prep training allowed her to earn full tuition to the college of her choice. Our youngest is attending Padua now. We can see him on the same path. Community spirit, love, faith and family are only a few of the tremendous core foundation and values you will experience at this extraordinary school.

My son is completing his freshman year at Padua Franciscan High School. From academics, athletics to friends, it could have not been a more positive experience.
