Formation of Students

Antonian students learn about faith, virtues, friendships and decision-making through their Religion class and through a superior series of academic disciplines. This process is fostered by what we call “formation.” The Sacramental life of their Faith is enriched through their participation in Liturgy, Reconciliation and Monthly Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in the Chapel of the Saints.

Academically Above the Rest

Antonian enjoys one of the finest academic reputations in San Antonio with a graduation and college acceptance rate of 100%. Over the past several years, the graduating classes have been accepted by a variety of colleges and universities, including many prominent schools such as Harvard, Yale, MIT, Boston University, and Notre Dame.

Community

During the 2011-2012 school year, freshman David Menchaca demonstrated his multi musical talents by not only participating in the Antonian band and music ministry, but also being a part of The Youth Orchestras of San Antonio. His musical talents are an inspiration to us all and an example of the community involvement of our students.

Award Winning Athletics

For the 2011-2012 school year five of our athletic teams were crowned champions. Our team's success led Antonian to win the Texas Associate of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) 5A Henderson Cup.

Spirituality

As a Catholic School, the fundamental responsibility we hold is the formation of our students, for them to acquire a deeper understanding of discipleship and evangelization. And beyond that understanding, to create in them a desire to become disciples and take up the walk with Jesus.

Jeremiah reminds us of why it was a Great Year

It was exactly what God intended and planned for us!

11) For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12) Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13) You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14) I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile."

Dear Parents,

I pray that the summer months have provided the opportunity for rest and time with your children, family and friends.

As we prepare for the new school year, we are excited at the opportunity to once again welcome your children and over seven hundred eighty students who will grace our hallways. Our student enrollment continues to grow and at the same time, we are cognizant that we are not able to accept many more students. The task then becomes to maximize our building of community and to serve our students and families as well as is possible.

Back to School Dates
July 31                Freshman and New Student Orientation - 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
August 7             New Parent Orientation - 6:30 p.m.
August 8             Returning Parent Orientation - 6:30 p.m.
August 10           First Day of School (uniform dress code in effect)
August 13           Second Day of School

Change to School Hours
I would like to announce a change to the hours that school will be in session next year. During the course of the year, we find that we do not have enough time to meet with students outside of class time. Time for school clubs to meet, time for students to take exams or quizzes that they may have missed and time to develop further tutorial or enrichment programs will be aided by this change Additionally, student athletes who practice in the morning will not need to meet as early, as a result.

We encourage students to arrive at school to attend daily Mass at 7:30 a.m. or at least by 8:00 a.m. The first bell will ring at 8:25 a.m. with the tardy bell ringing by 8:30 a.m. The time before the first class can be spent in tutorial, enrichment, or study. The end of the day bell will ring at 3:40 p.m. with athletes reporting to their specific sport by 4:00 p.m. The new schedule does not change the time we spend during the academic periods but does change the ending of the day by 20 minutes.
