Having children at St Anne Pacelli Catholic School means they will forever be apart of the coveted Viking family and their traditions.Not only is a college predatory education important to us as parents, but most importantly, a Catholic education is the gold standard, which St Anne Pacelli prides itself at providing. We are thankful for the community which the school also values just as importantly Our boys began their Viking journey this year, in elementary and high school, and already they are excelling as well as enjoy school again. We’re excited for the range of class opportunities and options at the high school level and like the smaller classes at the elementary level so that the classrooms are really child focused, especially with assistant teachers at the lower grades and the higher standards the students are held to. We know our children are learning academically as well as morally and will be successful adults after attending St. Anne Pacelli. Go Vikings!

We have been a parents of a St. Anne Pacelli’s student since 2006! Our oldest graduated class of 2020 and is a college student athlete excelling in all aspects of college life due to the preparation that his years from pre-K for to high school bought him! We currently have 2 children attending St.Anne Pacelli, a 5th grader who has been there since kindergarten, as well as a new pre-K 4 child! To see how each year the school grows and flourish’s in all aspects of education, faith, and community is absolutely amazing and we feel so gifted and blessed for our children to be a part of this as well as ourselves! St.Anne Pacelli is truly the gold standard for education and is recognized as that throughout our community as well as the nation! We are extremely proud of our school! Go Vikings!

St. Anne- Pacelli is family. It is a place where all of God's children can thrive, be loved, and feel at home. The teachers, staff, and administration goes above and beyond to ensure that every student is well taken care of spiritually, academically, and emotionally. This school is such a blessing to my family, and there is no place that I would rather send my children. I thank God daily for this school.

My family has had a wonderful experience with St Anne Pacelli, not only do they keep the environment positive with motivating activities for the children as well as the parents… they also offer excellent staff support to the students. My children have always felt at home, and I have always felt that the school has made it a point for that dynamic to stay strong. When we send our children out into the world without us, I am proud to say that this school upholds a standard that leaves no doubt in my mind that they will be excellent representations of what well rounded, kind, and compassionate people should be.

This school is amazing! The academic rigor is top notch. All three of my kids graduated from here, attend highly competitive colleges and are thriving. The atmosphere is caring and warm. The brand new lunch program is fantastic. We love this place, this faculty, the students and the families. I am forever grateful we are part of this Viking family!

It was an awful experience, I got bullied into leaving <3. Also the school handles rumors horribly and interviewed me as well as other small children without telling our parents.

We absolutely love this school! My son has attended the last 2 years PK3 & 4. Each year has been phenomenal. My sons teacher worked with us concerning my sons behavior during school. We made a plan and the teachers were in constant communication. This year his teacher has been just amazing. We are finally at a point my son doesn't get himself in trouble and is able to stay focused. He is a little advanced and they offered a program for him to go to the next grade level 2 days a week for a short period which I love. He brings home a lot of school work and tells me about all the stuff he is learning etc. He always wants to go to school. I feel the education is phenomenal & have a lot to offer students at this schoolThis school/staff itself has been wonderful! they are like a HUGE family. From the time we got in to an accident on the way to school and parents stopped to check on us and wait until police arrived, to the staff calling checking on us, my son got very ill and was out for a few weeks, the school called and the teacher sent a care package and a card from the class. When I was sick they called to see if we needed anything, very caring. I love the way the school is so involved within the community, the things they offer our children, hands on learning, programs and so on. Oh and let me NOT forget about school SPIRIT, This school definitely has it going on. I think my favorite is the Tailgate Party which is new this year and hopefully a new tradition. It was so nice to see all the families come together, each grade decorate their tents and tables, all the kids just playing together for hours and the support. I am so happy I decided to put my son in this school and we will continue to be a part of the VIKINGS family as long as we live here. ( we also drive an hour each morning to get to school, I def. wouldn't drive that far to bring my son to a school that wasn't the BEST)

Our child has attended St. Anne for two years now and our overall experience have been mixed. We are new to the Columbus area (relocated from out-of-state) and decided to enroll our child in private school...At first, we were happy with our decision but then after a few months we started noticing how very ‘cliquey’ this school feels. We very much feel like outsiders here. Most of the schools population is made up of the facility’s children or family members, which sounds like a good thing except for the preferential treatment those kids receive over non-facility children, and school events feel like a ‘company picnic’ instead of a school gathering. The front office staff is rude and unprofessional. The neighborhood in which this school is in feels unsafe with a lot of police activity for criminal behavior. Outside of the cliquey feel of this school, we felt that the education our child received was good. Although, it feels like the kids are brainwashed with how wonderful St. Anne is. We love school spirit, however it goes beyond that to some degree and being a Catholic school you better be willing to give, give, give....out of the kindness of your heart....or more like pressured into it because the whole class will get a prize if they have 100% compliance. We will most likely not be sending out child back to this school after this year. We are really sad about this decision because we want stability for our child, but this is not a welcoming school to outsiders and feel it is best for our child to be educated in a more inclusive to all environment.

My oldest attended K - 12 and has been very successful in college. He has a great experience and is still very close to his classmates and teachers. We love St. Anne-Pacelli!

Choosing St. Anne Pacelli was the best decision I could make for my children. My only regret is not having done it sooner.
