Catholic Tradition

As a Catholic school, St. Anne's focuses on the Christian community, as well as living as a follower of Jesus Christ. Prayer begins and ends each day for the approximately 250 students in attendance. [4] St. Anne School strongly believes in living as a disciple of Jesus. Students study religious education in their classes each day. During a holy day of obligation, the student body attends mass at St. Anne Church, located across the street from the school. Different grades host different masses by directly participating, either in the choir, as a lector, as a gift bearer, or as an altar server. By participating in the mass, the students can learn more about the Catholic religion, its traditions and customs.

Religion at St. Anne's is held at the top. The faculty and staff of St. Anne's model Christlike behavior in their way of living. By living like Jesus, teachers can demonstrate love, compassion, and companionship to the students. Students may then imitate the ways of their teachers in order to follow the way of Jesus.

Curriculum

Every lesson at St. Anne's is based on the New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards and Archdiocesan Guidelines. [5] Each grade is taught certain subjects daily. These subjects include religion, social studies, language arts, math, reading, and science. Weekly classes, such as physical education, computer education, music, Spanish, and art, are also taught.
