St. Ann Elementary School is a Middle States Accredited school dedicated to educating the whole person; stressing religious, moral, academic, social, physical, and emotional development.
Our students receive the same education in the traditional school subjects as our public school counterparts, but with a significant difference-Christ is at the center of our educational philosophy and mission.
We begin the day with prayer and religious studies, and we end the day with prayer.
The students learn to simultaneously develop their minds and bodies and their moral consciousness.
