Welcome to St. Patrick Academy Arts Integrated School

St. Patrick Academy will provide a gateway into 21st-century learning by providing students with the tools to succeed as faith-filled, community-focused, and self-motivated learners prepared to meet the needs of a diverse and changing world.

Mission and Philosophy

St. Patrick Academy, a culturally diverse diocesan regional school, serves students in the South Sacramento area and the surrounding communities. The ministry of the Academy is threefold: to provide a positive, Christ-centered, 21st-century learning experience through excellence in academics; to be attentive to all aspects of the individual child's development; and to provide students with the tools to be self-motivated, critical thinkers. The modeling and practice of moral and ethical values, coupled with the teachings of our Catholic faith, further empower our students to meet all future challenges. Aiding parents in their responsibility as the primary educators of their children, the Academy strives to honor and celebrate our ethnic and spiritual diversity while preparing our students to be bearers of compassion, respect, and knowledge to the larger world.

Road Scholars Program

The Road Scholars Program is a direct approach to enhancing academic background through out-of-classroom experiences. Field trips serve as living laboratories for active, hands-on learning, leveraging the rich resources of the local community.

Patricia Pacheco

The best decision I made for my children’s education was to enroll them at Saint Patrick Academy. They have been attending school here for 7 years and we plan to stay. I really love being part of this small faith based community. They also have some wonderful teachers here and their curriculum includes an integration of the arts. Both my children play musical instruments which I fully credit to the schools and music teacher’s influence.

Beverly Moore Powell

I went to St. Patrick's starting in 1956 and I graduated in 1963. I will always remember the 8 years that I spent there. My life would not be the same if I hadn't spent those early years of my life with "Father" Kavanaugh, the Nuns, and the lay teachers who shaped my life in God. My 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Roche, was my Godmother . Tears come to my eyes when I'm able to visit my old school and my church.

Graduating from the original St. Patrick's nearly 25 years ago prepared for the world before me, I made lifelong friendship, felt a sense of community and support. My 7yr old has been at the academy now for 3 years, and I believe she will leave the St. Patrick's years from now with the same if not better experience! Thank you old and new for all you do for children and the community!
