Academics

How academically challenging is St. Anne?  

St. Anne has a reputation for academic excellence.  Most of our students test "above average" on nationally standardized tests.  We believe this is due to the fact that our students have developed a strong work ethic.

A strong work ethic is a virtue that is directly taught and modeled by both the students' families and the staff at St. Anne Catholic Schol.  From the Pre-K through 8th grade, students are expected to take their studies seriously.  They listen during instruction and try their best when working on assignments.  Through their hard work, they achieve academic success.

This does not mean we are a stuffy, overly serious environment.  In fact, it is the exact opposite.  Since the vast majority of our students are committed to working hard, there are minimal interruptions due to inappropriate behaviors.  Therefore, there is time for an extra recess period during the day for the elementary students, time for a class play at the end of the school year, time for activities with their Spirit Partners, and time for other fun activities.
