Animated by the Gospel and guided by the teachings of the Church, St. Anthony's College pursues its vision through the SACRED Mission:

Philosophy
St. Anthony's College embraces Franciscan education as a Christ-centered journey of integral human formation. Inspired by Jesus who grew in wisdom, age, and grace, the institution nurtures individuals toward the fullness of life in the service of God, others, and the whole of creation.
This philosophy reflects the school's commitment to developing learners who are not only academically competent but also spiritually formed, socially aware, environmentally responsible, and morally guided.
Core values
Three dynamic Franciscan core values
St. Anthony's College is guided by three dynamic Franciscan core values. They serve as the foundation of the school's academic programs, administrative culture, student formation, community involvement, and institutional identity.
Unifying Interdependence
Working together with others for the common good.
Life-Giving Service
Offering oneself for the well-being of the poor and marginalized.
Our history
A legacy of Catholic education since 1953
Formerly known as St. Anthony's Academy, the institution was founded in 1953 through the missionary efforts of Rev. Fr. Gerry Filippetto, OFM, together with the pioneering Franciscan Apostolic Sisters. Since then, St. Anthony's College has continued to grow as an evangelizing arm of the Church through education, serving the youth and families of Sta. Ana, Cagayan and nearby communities.
