The St. Anne's Difference
At our school, respect, responsibility, and compassion are foundational values within our community. We prioritize small class sizes to ensure personalized learning and differentiated instruction, believing this environment fosters optimal student growth. Our dedicated faculty members, chosen for their expertise and empathy, inspire, challenge, and mentor students, supported by continuous professional development opportunities. We actively seek bright, motivated students from diverse backgrounds, encouraging them to bring their energy, enthusiasm, imagination, curiosity, creativity, and humor into our vibrant community.
We welcome families who share our commitment to a nurturing, spiritually integrated academic program. Emphasizing diligence and perseverance, we empower students to excel in all their endeavors. Moreover, we instill in our students a sense of social responsibility, promoting community service within and beyond our school. By leveraging the collective dedication of students, faculty, families, trustees, and the broader community, we uphold our mission to make meaningful contributions to society.

Preschool to Grade 8 Model
As a Preschool - 8th grade school, we focus all of our time, effort and resources on early childhood, elementary and middle school students. We are proud of this unique educational experience.
It is our firm belief, and the research supports us, that a small, Preschool to grade 8 school offers students significant benefits, including:
- Students feel safer and show greater growth in academic achievement.
- Parents and teachers show greater satisfaction and partnership.
- Younger students benefit from the positive role models of the older students.
- Older students gain self-esteem by serving as mentors, role models and “protectors" as opposed to having to establish new reputations upon entering middle school.
- K - 8 students maintain a more serious academic purpose than they do if they transfer to a separate middle school setting. (Martin A. West, Harvard School of Education, 2012)
- The curriculum has greater synergy and unity across grade levels. Its developmental structure is created and implemented by the educators who teach our students.
- K - 8 schools provide a more personal, family atmosphere with natural groupings of school age children. Siblings and friends routinely connect across grades.
- Families experience a stronger sense of community and connect with faculty and classmates.
- Middle school students are given authentic ways of modeling behavior and are considered school leaders by the faculty, administrators and younger children.
