Welcome to St. Anne's Day School!  At St. Anne's, students develop the courage, will, spirit and knowledge to work for the common good and to meet the challenges of the future with confidence.  Our rigorous academic program challenges students and engages their minds and spirits; hands-on learning experiences and stimulating discussions requiring critical thinking compel our students to be actively involved in their own learning.  Elective courses and extracurriculars provide students with opportunities to develop leadership abilities, talents and skills within the school community.  Service learning and outreach projects enrich students' connections to the greater community.  This partnering of academics with activities and community outreach prepares students for success not only in school, but in life. 

I'd like to take this opportunity to share with you thoughts from the most important voices here at St. Anne's--those of our students, parents, alumni and faculty.

You have prepared my daughter for life beyond even high school by encouraging her to think for herself and share those ideas without fear of ridicule, by requiring her to speak and even perform which gave her confidence in her abilities, and you expected her to step up and put forth effort to excel in whatever she did, cheering her when she did well.  I would be remiss if I didn't comment on the moral and ethical values you strive to instill in the kids and how important they are, especially as they move into the world of higher education and are faced with difficult choices that have long-lasting consequences.  --Alumni parent

You take every opportunity to keep opening up new and broader and brighter horizons for our children's education and for their personal development-everything keeps blossoming and growing in new directions that increase the learning opportunities for all.  Our daughter has developed a sense of her ‘self' that is solid and has grown and thrived.  She has gained a confidence that only comes when there is love, support and nurturing from those around her, along with high expectations.--Current parent

St. Anne's helped me to be really focused and to get interested in learning.  It helped me set high standards for myself and excel in all kinds of challenging classes.               --Alumnus

We strive to instill in our students a life-long love of learning.  Our dedicated, expert faculty know that their own curiosity, passion for learning and aptitude for discovery serve as critical models for their students; St. Anne's students find inspiration in the life-long learners they see in action daily. 

The teachers know our strengths and know us as people.  They challenge me in just the right amount so I'm tested, but not struggling, and make sure I'm doing my best.                   --Middle School student

I am so impressed with the strong foundation my children are getting at St. Anne's-one of the most important aspects of their early education is to instill a sense of excitement about the process of learning.  They are so thrilled to go to school each day!  A love of learning is such an important foundation for the rest of their lives, and St. Anne's is doing a wonderful job of it.  --Current parent

Our son's years at St. Anne's have far exceeded our expectations.  He has truly blossomed into a well-adjusted, happy kid who adores his school, loves his friends, soaks up learning and thrives on challenge.  His success is a testimony to the St. Anne's way. –-Current parent

I was especially drawn to St. Anne's by the commitment of the school leadership and faculty to the education of children in a caring and challenging environment.  After spending several years overseas and seeing a variety of school philosophies and cultures, I was impressed with the level of concern and dedication the faculty have for the needs of the children.  In addition, I was drawn to St. Anne's support of, and commitment to, professional development and life-long learning.  —Faculty member

Through this website, we hope to provide a glimpse into St. Anne's program, values and spirit; we know these things are best experienced in person and we hope you will come visit our campus to get to know us better.
