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.

My child is engaged, nurtured and challenged. He looks forward to going to school everyday and there is an amazing parent community /support.

As a student, I like that both academics and arts are important at Saint Anns. Most of the teachers are good, but not all of them. Not very much homework is given, as a middle school student on average I get around 45 min-1 hr of homework on a school night.

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...
