St. Ann School is a Catholic academic institution that offers a continuum and challenging curriculum for grades Pre-K – 8. A well educated and committed faculty work collaboratively to ensure solid basic skills as well as exposing the students to various research projects and field trip experiences that are academically and culturally enriching.
A new partnership with Merrimack College has been established to update and enhance our on-going faculty training and to make on-going recommendations that will ensure a curriculum that is challenging and current in its methodologies.
At the heart of the school is the daily teaching of the sacraments, traditions, devotions, doctrines and liturgical practices of the Catholic Church. It is this aspect of the curriculum that drives a spiritually rich education that imparts the social teachings of peace and justice.
The learning environment will be a state-of-the art facility which will include a chapel, science and technology labs, a fine arts space for the purpose of teaching art, drama and music. Spanish is taught in grades K-8.
The optimum class sizes are:
| Pre K I | 12 |
