New Student Admissions

All applications for new student admissions to St. Anne School are reviewed by the St. Anne School Principal and Vice Principal in consultation with the parish.   Every effort is made to be fair in considering the relevant facts and circumstances of prospective students/families and to balance these with the best interest of St. Anne Parish and School. The selection process is subject to strict confidentiality.

Criteria for Admission

St. Anne School is a parish school and is the largest ministry of St. Anne Parish.  Active involvement in the parish is a key consideration in the admissions process especially in years and situations where the number of applicants for a particular grade level exceeds the number of spaces available.

Applications to St. Anne School are reviewed and admissions decisions made based upon the following criteria:

• Parish membership in good standing and involvement in parish life.
• Presence of siblings in the school.
• Acceptable class size and makeup 
• Student readiness for grade level.
• Although active participation in the parish is a consideration in the application process, we often have room for and encourage the application of non-Catholic and/or out of parish families.

Non-Discrimination

St. Anne School does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, national origin, age or disability (if with reasonable accommodation the disabled person can function in the school environment). We desire to be as inclusive as possible in welcoming all students for whom we can provide an appropriate program.

Steps to Application and Enrollment

1. Inquire
2. Visit
3. Apply for admission
4. Apply for Financial Aid (for in parish families)
5. Notification of admission–
   1. Wait List:  Applicants not gaining admission to St. Anne School may request to be put on the class waiting list.  This request must be renewed for each year in which the prospective student would desire admission.  Students on the Wait List will not be assigned a numerical priority since assignment will be based upon the make-up of the class, active involvement in the parish and consideration of other criteria at the time openings occur.  Openings are typically available just after the registration deadline and over the summer as families move or other decisions are made known to us.  To inquire about wait list opportunities, please contact the school’s Admission Manager Jennifer Hazzard at jhazzard@stannesea.org.

Re-enrollment process for current PreK students is a little different than for the rest of the school students.

Our current re-enrollment system will automatically roll your PreK student into Kindergarten.  However, this does not guarantee Kindergarten placement for next year. Details about the application process steps will be shared at the PreK and Kindergarten Information Night in January. In the meantime, please follow the enrollment process for your PreK student. Any adjustments that need to be made will be done by Jennifer Hazzard after the PreK and Kindergarten enrollment process is complete.

Please take time to update your tuition status: in-parish or out-of-parish. If you are not registered with the parish and/or do not participate in stewardship giving, you should select out-of-parish.
