School Reviews

5 4/8/2022

My child has been going to St. Anne's for three years and we all love it. Half of the time happened to be during Covid but the teachers handled it so well. I was hearing horror stories about how kids were regressing in other schools while my daughter learned to read through zoom classes because of how amazing the teachers and school are. The way they teach with Blended learning is fantastic. Blended learning makes it possible for the teacher to take more time for kids that need it while the other students are still learning. St. Anne has such a great sense of community and leadership. The principal has been at St. Anne's for 23 years and he's an amazing principal. Also, I can't believe how affordable this school is. It's less than $6,000 a year and they really help if you can't afford it. Also, if you are not Catholic you are still welcome. About 30% of students aren't Catholic. I can't wait for my son to start there too next year.
