Helping create a path to enhance the spiritual & educational experience of our students for the next 20 years and beyond.

“The Future Starts Today. Not Tomorrow.”
— Pope John Paul II

For two decades, Padre Pio Academy has been dedicated to nurturing young minds with a strong foundation in academic excellence and faith.

As we reflect on the milestone of our 20th anniversary, we want to extend our influence in Cleveland’s Catholic community and continue to grow our institution.

This is why we are excited to launch Next 20, a visionary initiative that aims to propel our mission forward for generations to come.

Next 20 is a year-long campaign with a goal of raising $400,000 in valuable capital to fund critical initiatives that will enhance the educational experience of our students.

Running from September 23, 2023 - Padre Pio’s Feast Day - to May 25, 2024 - his birthday, Next 20 plans to raise funds to grow our programs, update our spiritual and educational curriculum, improve our infrastructure and much, much more.

And with the physical changes already in place, the journey has already begun.

A new loft with classrooms and a teachers area was constructed over the summer of 2023.

Our commitment to fostering spiritual growth and character development has remained unwavering, ensuring that our students emerge as not only well-educated individuals but also compassionate and principled global citizens.
