At St. Ann’s School, education goes beyond the purely technical and practical aspects of schooling and aims at an integration of all knowledge within a vision of the world and human person. It focuses on the physical, emotional, moral and spiritual dimensions of human development, leading to a personal synthesis of faith and life in each student.
We treasure our Catholic-Christian identity and values while welcoming all people of diverse beliefs, cultures and backgrounds. Our staff and students foster a positive, disciplined learning environment based on treating peers and teachers with dignity and respect.
