About St. Anthony School
We invite you to learn about our history, grasp our culture and dive into our collaborative educational experience at St. Anthony School.
We are an accredited, college preparatory educational institution, whose core is deeply rooted in developing an open, accepting and collaborative community that cultivates the inherent talents of our youth.
Accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the, Western Catholic Education Association (WCEA).
St. Anthony is the only Catholic school on Maui that offers a seamless Preschool through Grade 12 experience. Our curriculum consists of core classes and lesson plans that are essential for all ages. Students are supported by a favorable student-to-teacher ratio, allowing for early intervention and securing a foundation for success and excellence for children of all levels. Innovative enrichment courses in specialized fields, such as fine arts and technology, ensure creativity, individuality, excitement toward learning, and the ability to compete in the modern workforce.
Through day-to-day actions, speech and attitude, our staff embody Christian-Catholic values. These values have guided our students to become determined, contributing community members who exhibit character and integrity throughout their lives.
Analytical skills and originality are enhanced through a system that encourages expression, acceptance and ‘ohana. This method of inclusion and open communication extends to the parents of our students, who establish a climate of support at home as well.
Throughout its 175-year existence, St. Anthony School has remained committed to excellence in education – adapting to change, and integrating new and innovative teaching/learning techniques while honoring the tradition and legacy that our Maui community has come to know and love. More than 15,000 students have graduated from St. Anthony School, with a 100% graduation and college acceptance rate for 15+ consecutive years and impressive matriculation rates to top Universities.
Message from the Head of School
Aloha and Welcome!
It is with great joy and deep gratitude that I introduce myself as the new Principal of St. Anthony School, here in the heart of our beautiful Maui community.
At St. Anthony School, we are more than a school—we are a faith-filled 'ohana where each child is nurtured academically, spiritually, and personally. Rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ, our Catholic identity is at the center of all we do. God is lovingly integrated into every subject and every part of the day, guiding our students to grow in both wisdom and faith.
As we begin this exciting new chapter, I’m thrilled to announce two inspiring initiatives launching this school year:
- Our new Sports Academy, which encourages physical excellence, teamwork, and discipline.
- A Hawaiian Studies Program, honoring and celebrating the rich culture, language, and history of our island home.
We believe in the power of small class sizes to provide personalized attention, meaningful relationships, and a supportive environment where every student is seen, known, and valued. Open enrollment is now available, and we invite families seeking a Christ-centered education to come and experience all that St. Anthony has to offer.
I look forward to walking this journey with you and your keiki, growing together in faith, knowledge, and aloha.
With aloha and blessings,
Mary Jean Bega

On Puali Nani's windblown sands,
'Neath furrowed Maui mountain crests,
St. Anthony, St. Anthony undaunted stands
The guide of all our youthful quests.
Oh Gem of Valley Isle for thee,
We proudly wave the gold and blue.
Undying faith and loyalty will be our pledge
To God and you.
Oh Gem of Valley Isle for thee,
