The Significance of the "Red Doors"

Through our Red Doors

At the entrance of St. Anne’s Episcopal School, a plaque commemorates our founders’ vision and the accomplishments since 2002, concluding with the blessing: “May all who enter these doors grow in wisdom and love.” Traditionally, churches painted their doors red to offer sanctuary, signaling safety to those in need; our bright red doors radiate a warm welcome.

Beyond being a center for academic excellence, St. Anne’s embodies a diverse community spanning generations, fostering personal growth in compassion, respect, and responsibility from early childhood to advanced age. Our mission extends beyond intellectual and academic achievements; we strive to nurture every child’s holistic development—intellectually, artistically, physically, morally, and spiritually.

Embracing each community member as a beloved child of God, we journey together through life’s challenges and successes, guiding one another along paths of personal and communal growth. With a commitment to shaping a better world, we dedicate our resources, energy, and love to each child, celebrating their uniqueness, nurturing their potential, and inspiring lives filled with purpose, meaning, and service to humanity.
