Padre Pio Academy is an amazing school in the Lakewood, Ohio area. It''s been around fro over 20+ years and it has established itself as a leader in classical Catholic curriculum. One element that is very strong is the theatre program. The shows the school put on are incredible and a must see! I''m so happy to be a part of this amazing organization!

PPA is a wonderful school with a very tight knit community. I''m impressed at the curriculum and the small class sizes where my children get one on one attention. I love their theater program. Their productions are always top notch and are something to look forward to every spring. I can''t recommend this school enough!
