Welcome!
Our mission at Shelton is for families and teachers to work together in the upbringing and formation of responsible adults, individuals that strive for attaining excellence whilst committing to serving others. At the same time our vision is focused on empowering future generations as they excel in life accompanied by the values of the Catholic faith. All in all, our hope is for our students to contribute positively to society with a spirit of innovation. Shelton Academy takes great pride in instilling human excellence, family values, and an unrelenting service to others.
Mentoring
From the beginning, the idea of creating a mentoring program was to assume the big task of forming our teachers to be our students’ guides. We need to understand the beautiful purpose of this mission: to help our families empower their children with the necessary tools that will enable them to become the main contributors to society, in the spirit of service and innovation. Our task as a school is subsidiary, for it is for the parents to educate and guide their children. However, as a school centered on the family as well as on the student, we are committed to helping our families achieve these powerful goals for their children.
Mentoring allows us to personalize our mission. It is the way we empower our students and the manner in which we help them fulfill their individual needs. Via one-on-one conversations, our mentors encourage students to strive for academic excellence, to embrace service towards others, and to be able to use their personal qualities to innovatively change the world around them. Mentoring ensures that each mentee feels understood, cared for, and positively challenged. Through regular one-on-one conversations with a well-trained and experienced faculty/staff member serving as their mentor, the student develops skills that will last a lifetime: striving for academic excellence, serving others, and developing the good habits that will allow them to be happy and to make a positive contribution to our world.
Spiritual Life
Education at Shelton Academy encompasses the use of the mind and soul. Religion is a required course at every grade level. The formation of our students based on Catholic values is a priority and is ever present throughout every activity. Masses are offered on several occasions during the span of the school year as well as regular opportunities to access the Sacrament of Confession, faculty and parent supervised service projects, and various charitable outreach programs that benefit those most in need within our community. These programs and opportunities allow students to materialize their faith into practice. Note that the prayers and Catholic traditions that are practiced at Shelton Academy are in accordance with the liturgical calendar.
Welcome from our President
Dear Parents,
It is a great joy to welcome you and your children to the 2025–2026 academic year at Shelton Academy. Each new school year is not only a beginning but also a renewal of our shared mission: to form students with a human, ethical, and Christian vision of life and work.
At Shelton Academy, our inspiration is Saint Josemaría Escrivá, who taught that ordinary work, done with love, has deep meaning. Work is not only a way to achieve results, but also a path to personal growth, to serving others, and to contributing to the common good. As he said, “Work is born of love, it manifests love, and it is directed toward love.” This vision reminds us that daily tasks, whether in the classroom, on the sports field, or at home can be transformed into opportunities for holiness.
Our commitment is to provide your children not only with academic excellence, but also with the formation of character, virtues, and faith. We want them to graduate as young men and women who live with integrity, generosity, and hope, ready to make a positive difference in the world. This requires high expectations, consistent dedication, and, above all, the spirit of family that unites parents, teachers, and students.
The culture of Shelton Academy is built in the details: in the care we give to learning, in the joy we cultivate in community life, and in the kindness shown in daily interactions. We are not simply building a school, but a home of integral formation, where joy, friendship, and Christian values come together to shape lives.
As we begin this academic year, I invite you to renew with us the mission of Shelton Academy: to help each student discover the dignity of work, the beauty of learning, and the joy of living for God and for others. Together, as parents, teachers, and students, we can make each day a step toward excellence and sanctity.
With gratitude for your trust and collaboration,
Sincerely,
Carlos E. Padula

Member of the Board of Directors
Mensaje de bienvenida de nuestro Presidente
Estimados Padres de Familia,
Es una gran alegría darles la bienvenida a ustedes y a sus hijos al año académico 2025–2026 en Shelton Academy. Cada nuevo curso escolar no es solo un comienzo, sino también una renovación de nuestra misión compartida: formar a los estudiantes con una visión humana, ética y cristiana de la vida y del trabajo.
En Shelton Academy, nuestra inspiración es san Josemaría Escrivá, quien enseñó que el trabajo ordinario, realizado con amor, tiene un profundo significado. El trabajo no es solo un medio para obtener resultados, sino también un camino de crecimiento personal, de servicio a los demás y de contribución al bien común. Como él decía: “El trabajo nace del amor, manifiesta el amor y se dirige hacia el amor.” Esta visión nos recuerda que las tareas cotidianas, ya sea en el aula, en el campo deportivo o en el hogar, pueden transformarse en oportunidades de santidad.
Nuestro compromiso es brindar a sus hijos no solo excelencia académica, sino también formación en el carácter, en las virtudes y en la fe. Queremos que se gradúen como jóvenes íntegros, generosos y llenos de esperanza, preparados para hacer una diferencia positiva en el mundo. Esto requiere altas expectativas, dedicación constante y, sobre todo, el espíritu de familia que une a padres, maestros y estudiantes.
La cultura de Shelton Academy se construye en los detalles: en el cuidado que damos al aprendizaje, en la alegría que cultivamos en la vida comunitaria y en la amabilidad de nuestras interacciones diarias. No estamos simplemente construyendo una escuela, sino un hogar de formación integral, donde la alegría, la amistad y los valores cristianos se unen para moldear vidas.
Al iniciar este nuevo año académico, los invito a renovar con nosotros la misión de Shelton Academy: ayudar a cada estudiante a descubrir la dignidad del trabajo, la belleza del aprendizaje y la alegría de vivir para Dios y para los demás. Juntos, como padres, maestros y alumnos, podemos hacer de cada día un paso hacia la excelencia y la santidad.
Con gratitud por su confianza y colaboración,
Atentamente,
Carlos E. Padula
