St. Anne's Academy for Girls is a Classical Catholic Independent education program offering a rigorous homeschooling-hybrid academic program for students in preschool through 7th grade.
Class size is limited to 5 to 7 students. The small-group learning environment ensures each student remains appropriately challenged.
Students who progress rapidly are offered more advanced studies throughout the school year.
The most important component for all students is to develop faith--the opposite of fear--the means to overcoming obstacles to assure achievement.
Faith informs a student that "all is well" and gives her a reason to move forward without hesitation, to know regardless of challenges faced, all will work out.
Faith will propel her to accomplish goals and fulfill her purpose.
