St Anselm's Abbey School tries to provide as many clubs, activities and sports as the students want. The teachers are available to provide extra help when a student asks for help.

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.

10/26/2022

It's one of the most academically rigorous schools in the nation, but that comes along with great school culture, great athletics, and great resources. The motto of the school is to turn bright boys into exceptional young men, and that's exactly what they're doing.

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.
