Freshman Orientation Class
The focus of this class is to provide the foundation for all levels of personal success. The course will focus on strengthening the education of the whole person: social, physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual. This is a pass/fail course.
Dress Code
Padua Franciscan students must follow a dress code, which for girls includes school approved polo shirts and pants. For boys, it includes a school approved polo shirt (or dress shirt and tie) and dress pants. More details can be found in the Parent-Student Handbook on our website.
How do I qualify for honors courses?
When a student is accepted at Padua, department chairs review a student’s grade school grades, state standardized testing and the results of the High School Placement Test to determine course placement and Honors course readiness.
Chromebooks
Every student receives a Chromebook, which they keep once they graduate.
