Perhaps, it is not a coincidence that our founders chose Saint Anne as our namesake and that one of our most successful ministries is that of teaching children.
As mother of Mary and grandmother of Jesus, Anne has an honored place in Christian history. She has come to symbolize a parent's dedication to her child's education and spiritual development.
Anne was instrumental in building a foundation of faith and learning in her child Mary. In fact, in art, Anne is often depicted reading to Mary.
History tells us that when Mary was three years old, her parents, Anne and Joachim, presented her in the Temple in Jerusalem as a gift to her Lord. They wanted Mary to be close to God and at a center of learning.
Like Saint Anne, we are seeking to build a foundation of faith and learning in the children in our care. As an Episcopal school, St. Anne's Day School promotes learning that values both faith and reason. It seeks to nurture children through moral, spiritual, intellectual, creative, physical and social development.
Like Saint Anne, we realize that a child's education and spiritual development begin at an early age, for...
...we are building a foundation that will last a lifetime.
