An independent school in Middletown, DE for students in Preschool through Grade 8

Investing in a Foundation That Lasts

A St. Anne's education is more than an expense - it's a transformational investment in your child's growth, purpose, and future. 

More Than a School - A Lifelong Community

Families come to St. Anne's for academic excellence and joyful learning. They stay because of the deep relationships, spiritual grounding, and whole-child development that prepare students to lead meaningful lives. 

What you're investing In: 

  • Expert, mission-driven faculty
  • Whole-child learning and leadership development
  • Daily outdoor exploration across 125 acres
  • A values-based community where students are known and loved
  • High school readiness rooted in purpose, not pressure

We came for the Preschool. We stayed because the value far outweighed the cost.
