- About Saint Anne’s School
  
  Saint Anne’s School offers a best-in-class education program and supports children to develop a meaningful understanding of our loving God. Through our excellent academic program and unique extracurriculars, we form faith-filled leaders of tomorrow.
- What You Can Expect at Our School:
  
  Culture – Our school cultivates a robustly Catholic Culture centered on the spiritual, intellectual, sacramental, and liturgical life of the Church.
  
  Supportive Community – Our school provides a safe and supportive community that recognizes the dignity of every student and promotes human flourishing in a familial atmosphere.
  
  Academic Excellence – Our school offers academic excellence, which will foster in your child individual growth and development according to time-tested, faith-based models of teaching and learning.
- How Our School Responded to COVID-19 and Thrived in Difficult Times:
  
  Technology – During the lockdown of 2020-2021, we quickly provided tools for remote learning to our students. When students at other schools struggled, the students at our school excelled.
  
  Servant Leadership – In 2020-2021, our teachers believed students and families were their #1 priority making sure each student received classwork and support in the most challenging of circumstances. Now, they continue to make students and families their #1 priority.
  
  Safe Classroom Learning – We all know that young students learn better in a classroom with their peers. We have an impressive student-to-teacher ratio and spacious classrooms. This allowed us to bring back all students for full 5-day in-person learning for the 2020-2021 school year when most schools in Long Island remained closed. For the 2021-2022 school year, our students continue to track academic progress.
