ACADEMICS OVERVIEW
The
Catholic educational mission of Saint Ann School is
to encourage all aspects of each individual child’s
development, with particular emphasis on spiritual
and intellectual growth. Saint Ann School provides
the highest quality academic education within a
caring, supportive Catholic/ Christian environment
in which students experience a strong sense of
community. Saint Ann School strives to develop a
sense of social responsibility in each student
through respect for life and dignity of everyone in
the community.
Giving our teachers the tools necessary to go about
their important work of shaping their students’
spiritual and academic minds is vital and continual
at Saint Ann School. To enhance their abilities to
translate the wonders of our faith to our students,
our entire staff has devoted several days solely to
spiritual retreat programs. To better assist in
classroom strategies and learning development
efforts, we have designated several days throughout
the school year for professional development
programs. This has sparked renewed study and
creativity among our talented faculty and staff
members as they incorporate new techniques in their
classroom.
Saint Ann School believes in using a differentiated
instructional approach in developing curriculum
across grade levels and subjects. Our talented
faculty strives toward creating learning programs
that build on the strengths and interests of our
students while challenging them to think and solve
problems on a daily basis. This is accomplished
through the use of ongoing assessments that identify
strengths and areas of need to enable us to meet our
students where they are and challenge them to move
forward. Through our Resource Department, Gifted
Student Program, and Honors Classes for middle
school, Saint Ann School meets the needs of all of
our students.
