The Saints Academy was established in 2016 through the unification of our two local Catholic Schools, St. John the Evangelist and St. Mary Star of the Sea, because of a desire to keep Catholic education in our city. We are now Beverly's lone Catholic coeducational PreK through grade eight school and we consider ourselves an ideal choice for parents on the North Shore. We currently have students from sixteen communities: Beverly, Boxford, Essex, Gloucester, Hamilton, Ipswich, Lynn, Marblehead, Middleton, Newbury, Peabody, Rockport, Salem, Swampscott, Wenham, and Kingston NH. At The Saints Academy, through our five core values of Discipleship, Partnership, Scholarship, Leadership, and Citizenship, we endeavor to provide an environment that fosters each of these values throughout the school day and into the daily lives of our students.

School Notes
- The Early Childhood Learning Community is comprised of our pre-kindergarten and kindergarten. The foundational years of education are vital for our young learners to experience social, emotional, and academic education while reinforcing values. Of course, reading, writing and math are key components of each day, exposing our children to key concepts they will need in their school careers, we also feel that reinforcing kindness, problem solving, and collaboration through play and peer interactions is an integral aspect of our Early Education Learning Community.
- The Primary Learning Community is made up of our first and second grades. During these years, our students continue to focus on their foundational academics, and achieve significant physical, social and emotional growth. The Primary Learning Community will more actively engage our students in aspects of school life and provide more interactive opportunities to enhance their educational experience. Additionally, in second grade, our students are offered the opporrtunity to complete their First Penance and First Holy Communion under the guidance of their teacher.
- The Elementary Learning Community consists of our third, fourth and fifth grades. These three years are crucial in reinforcing the foundational skills our students have learned for future academic success. The teachers and learners work collaboratively within the learning community, as well as with our other learning communities, to maximize their experiences academically, socially, and spiritually. This helps tp prepare them for our strong middle school curriculum.
- The Middle School Learning Community, our sixth, seventh and eighth grades, are our student leaders and play an important role in modeling our school culture of kindness, collaboration, partnership, and academic accountability. They are exposed to higher level academic concepts and given many opportunities to put their skills into practice. Our middle school team of teachers guide the learning process and work together with each student to provide a supportive, but rigorous and comprehensive education to prepare them for their future beyond the doors of The Saints Academy.
