Welcome to Cardinal Lacroix Academy
Welcome to Cardinal Lacroix Academy, A Preschool through grade 6 Catholic school that is dedicated to providing a faith-based education for all students, regardless of their background or beliefs. Our school was established in 2018 through the unification of St. Anthony of Padua and St. Casimir schools, both of which served the French Canadian and Polish immigrant populations of their time.
At Cardinal Lacroix Academy, we are committed to encouraging each person's relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We strive to instill in our students the values of compassion, forgiveness, and service to others, which are central to the Catholic faith and tradition. Our teachers and staff are dedicated to educating each child both intellectually and spiritually, challenging all students to develop their God-given gifts.
Our curriculum is designed to provide a well-rounded education that prepares our students for success in life, both academically and spiritually. We offer a range of subjects, including language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, physical education, music, and art. In addition to our core curriculum, we also offer opportunities for our students to deepen their faith through religious instruction, liturgy, and service projects.
Cardinal Lacroix Academy welcomes students of all faiths and backgrounds. We celebrate the diversity of our community and strive to create an environment that is inclusive and welcoming to all. Our school is committed to serving the students and families in the heart of Manchester and its surrounding towns.
