Located on Pierrepont and Clinton Streets, Saint Ann’s School is a noted and prestigious pre-kindergarten through 12th grade private school in Brooklyn Heights. With approximately 1000 students, this tight-knit independent non-sectarian day school is regarded as one of the country’s best schools - in particular at the high school level.

Teachers are great and if you are motivated you will thrive academically. Unfortunately, most kids do not do their work, and rules are not reinforced whatsoever. There are no consequences here which leads to an awful bullying problem that the administration mostly ignores. Teachers I knew left because of the poorly behaved students. The school needs to gain more structure.

Saint Ann's is truly a special place with fantastic teachers that promote learning for the sake of learning and not solely to beat others or get good grades. While the political/social environment at Saint Ann's can be a bit hostile at times, I wouldn't have chosen any other place to attend high school.

Saint Ann's is amazing. English program especially. Highly recommend. Community is amazing, and very inclusive and welcoming.

The only thing this school gave me was a killer common app essay. Do not send your kids here if they are not wh...

This school is for independent learners who want to explore the world and education on their own terms. Fantastic experience.

Saint Ann's is an amazing school that provides a unique opportunity for kids to learn without a grade or number looming over their exploration. Of course, some students like the benchmark that grades provide or need the structure that graded work provides. However, for self-motivated learners who ar...
