St. Anselm's is the best school I have ever been to and not just because of the academics, but also the community and the athletics.

The Abbey is by far the best school academicly I have attended. The majority of the teachers have advanced degrees and have an unmatched love for their subjects. Most importantly the teacher refuese to treat you as a child, they will dive in to the complexity of a subject without a second thought. For example in form IV (10th) religion we spent 1/2 of the first semester covering Aristotle's ethics and politics.

The sense of community at Saint Anselm's is incredible. The school offers very rigorous academics with teachers who are incredibly dedicated.

There is no grade inflation going on here; they understand boys...

It was a good middle school until the pandemic. After, the teachers in high school refused to accept that there was a lag in learning and called my son lazy. Leadership changes especially in the upper school has made this school become adrift with abusive teachers supposedly being rigorous and havin...
