St. Anne's School of Annapolis

We couldn't be happier with St. Anne's! The responsive classroom approach is a great fit for our son. The teachers and staff are wonderful as are the St. Anne's community of parents. Our son is being challenged academically and socially.

I LOOOOOOOVE St. Anne's! I was looking at 2 other schools and ended up at St. Anne's and I'm so happy! Not only is the academic challenging but the feeling my son gets everyday from the staff there is priceless! As a parent I feel comfortable that when I drop off my son at school, that he will get the respect and love that he deserves! They are very informative and very accomodating to both the kids and their parents. Not only do I love the school but so does my son. And an 8 year old will tell me the truth. If you want a tight knit community and want your child to feel like he isn't just a number, please bring your child here. Everyone (staff, teachers, PARENTS) knows your name even though you met them once and maybe not at all! I'm still amazed by this...

St. Anne's School of Annapolis provides the rare combination of truly challenging academics in a rich social education program. They truly make every family member feel like they belong. It is a second home for my children. The graduates have an outstanding track record and alum parents are so proud of the school, saying their kids were far ahead of the game when they got to high school. The staff is extremely smart, knows the research--especially brain research--and care about the kids. If you are in Annapolis and have the privilege to attend a private school, look nowhere else. We looked everywhere, and St. Anne's is the best, hands down.

We love the small classes, diversity, and caring environment. The cohesive project based learning has proven to be a great approach to education. We feel that St. Anne's offers a real program that is designed to maximize a child's potential from K-8. We are truly impressed with this school.

We had two children at St. Anne's who both entered in preschool. While we loved the responsive classroom and the overall atmosphere, our children were not challenged enough academically, particularly in Math an English. Enrollment had also declined significantly, and the class sizes, ironically, were too small. This is a great school for average students whose parents can afford the inflated tuition.

I am a student at St. Anne's and I have to say the school has good values, amazing teachers, and lots of fun and successful students who attend. I am looking forward to continue through the school until 8th grade.

This is an exceptional school, with excellent curriculum and an outstanding administration and teaching staff. Their use of the responsive classroom ensures an environment where each chid learns both academic and social skills that will serve them throughout their lives and prepare them for a 'life of consequence'. The theme, or project based, approach to the curriculum prepares them for simiilar settings in high school, college and in professional environments where projects and teammwork are key factors in success. I can never repay this school for all they have done for our child. For those around Annapolis or those looking to relocate, I would strongly recommend visiting the school and meeting with the great staff. Sending your child here will be the best decision you can make and i am unabashed in making this recommendation.

We are the parents of two St. Anne's students, one a recent graduate and the other a current sixth grader. St. Anne's prepared our daughter well for high school with good study skills, an interest in participating in sports and extracurricular activities and high self esteem. The school truly prepares its students to be life long learners. Given the very individual, child centered approach, a wide variety of children can thrive at St. Anne's. We are very pleased with the investment we have made in our children's education at St. Anne's.

As a parent of a St. Anne's graduate and two still at St. Anne's I can honestly say how wonderful of a school it is. My son is achieving in high school academically, socially, and doing well in the sports and music. St. Anne's hands on child centered approach to learning helps encage the student. My children never said they didn't want to go to school and have been very happy there. I feel fortunate to have found a school like St. Anne's.

Currently we have two children at St. Anne's, and a third who, after 10 years at St. Anne's, recently graduated and moved on to Severn. Our kids have thrived at the school both academically and spiritually. For us, the best evidence of the strength of the school's academic program has been the success that our oldest has enjoyed so far in high school. She is in a rigorous program, including several AP level classes, and is doing very well. We would highly recommend the school.

My son attended St. Anne's for middle school. As a parent of an African American male, we felt respected, loved and welcomed. We would attend St. Annes all over again. My son and I made friends for life.

St.Anes is a very challenging school and I absolutly think that they prepare you for your future career in life. Although St.Annes is a great school, I feel as though it's a little too expensive. The teachers are great, and have a high level of teaching and explaining the concepts. The have a very loving, and family feeling environment there. They keep you very interactive with sports, and extra activities there! As a student, I have been at St. Annes since 6th grade and I am now in 8th grade, I will truely miss it there now that this is my graduating year!

My children attended St. Anne's for several years. On a positive note I will say that the school is a nuturing environment and that they do a good job of socially preparing your child. However, the academics are greatly lacking, the school does not teach the basic fundamentals of grammar and mathematics. It also seems to depend on which teacher your child receives as to what they are taught , there is not an across the board regulated curriculum with standardized basic testing being met and taught. For the amount you pay in tuition you do not get a quality academic education.

My two children attended St. Anne's from 4 years of age until they both graduated from 8th grade. The school's academics are top-notch due to the great teachers and Head of School who really has vision. Through all those years of development, my children learned respect and a love of learning. I can't imagine a better, safer environment for a child.

I have 2 children currently attending St. Annes and find it a nuturing environment that is dedicated to teaching each child as an individual. Both of my children have completely different learning styles and both have thrived. They feel safe, cared for and proud. So do I!

My two kids have been there since they were 3+5 and now are 11+13. It's been a fantastic place for them to learn and grow. The school educates the whole child and appreciates each one for their individual qualities. The school meets it's mission and strives for excellence. We all love it wish it would build a high school. It only goes to 8th grade.
