Shrine Of St. Anne Catholic School

The Shrine of St. Anne Catholic School is a K-8 grade school located in the heart of Olde Town, Arvada, CO. We are a close-knit community of families and students that support a nurturing community, reinforced family environment, rigorous academic curriculum and Catholic faith formation. For the past 60+ years, we have been committed to forming the souls, minds, and hearts of the thousands of students who have passed through our doors.
We are proud to teach and follow the guidelines set forth by the Archdiocese of Denver Office of Catholic Schools.
The Shrine of St. Anne Catholic School delivers a high-quality curriculum steeped in fundamental and traditional standards and objectives which is brought to life by an outstanding core of teachers.
We believe every child can learn, but recognize that not all children learn in the same way, at the same pace, or come in at the same place. Our classroom instruction is differentiated to meet those varied needs.
Our graduating students often test in honors and AP classes in private and public high schools.
On top of our core classes, we offer various "specials" such as Spanish, Technology, Art, Physical Education, and Music/Theater.
Our school is a proud partner of the Catholic Schools Activities League (CSAL). Our student athletes participate in a variety of sports such as: volleyball, flag football, basketball, futsal, baseball, etc. In addition to athletics, our school, along with numerous volunteers, facilitate several student clubs such as student council, Little Flowers, Scouts, chess club, MathCounts, spelling bee, and choir.
