This school has been an outstanding place for my children to learn and grow. My children attended 2nd-8th grades at St. Ann, and both were very well prepared for high school. The learning environment at St. Ann cultivates critical thinking and teamwork. The principal and teachers truly care about the students, and bullying and bad behavior are not tolerated. The opportunity for family engagement is excellent- it has been a great community for our family.

I love the school as they accept us for who we are they don't judge for how we act, they judge us on our kindness.

We have been a part of St. Ann for 9 years, my children are happy to go to school each day, the teachers, principal and staff are all very caring and work hard with students on both academics, character, leadership and service. The best school in Fayetteville.

Excellent school with caring teachers. My son went from a public school where bullying was rampant and unpunished to St. Ann's where my son has flourished in a stress-free environment.
