Truly a great school! Couldn't ask for a better Catholic school for my four children. We have been blessed to see the fruits of the school's influence with our two oldest who have graduated. Two are still enjoying the classical education they are receiving. I love to see the literature they enjoy, the history they study, the science they explore, the math that challenges them, and the writings they compose. All around it is a spectacular school. I can recommend it without reservation.

We love St Ann's and can't imagine our kids going anywhere else! If you have kids prek through 8th grade, come check it out or PM me with any questions. Financial aid may be available through the archdiocese and you can get reimbursed for transportation!

We couldn't have picked a better school for our son. The classical approach to education is providing him with a solid foundation in math, reading and writing. In 1st grade, he is memorizing poems for recitation, practicing public speaking, learning about the Ancient Greeks and growing in curiosity through Nature Studies. We also love the way the school is enriching his faith and the fact that the school attends Mass twice a week. The families are wonderful!

My son is a 2nd year St. Ann student and I can't say enough wonderful things about the school. The attention the staff gives to each child is hands down the most I've seen in any school my children have been in. From a greeting as you enter the school each morning you know your children are in the care of compassionate dedicated professionals. The personal touches and community involvement makes this school the best out there. Consistent involvement and understanding of local first responders who visit the school so real relationships are being made. A heartwarming Veteran's Day assembly honoring all hero's, several student concerts, and lots of fun activities all throughout the year. The safety and security the school provides and continues to stay up to date with makes me feel very comfortable, and confident I have made the right decision.

Very bad experience, teachers yell at kids, don’t know how to teach kids, kids even in pre k are expected to know everything before joining and are expected to behave well.

This is the school that will teach your children all the fundamentals they will need to build on for the rest of their academic education. St. Ann's doesn't have the flashiest technology, but what you will get is a strong ability to write, a good understanding of mathematics and a caring set of teachers who will not only make sure you will succeed while you are there, but will ensure you have all the knowledge you need to ensure your success in high school.

My children spent their entire grade school years here. It was their home away from home. The academic standards are excellent. The students from St. Ann School stand out when they go to high school. They are getting a fantastic education that is underscored by a strong faith. I know there are good public schools in this area, however that was never an option for my family, based on our conservative and religious beliefs.

I transferred my child here from another Catholic School, and I couldn't be more pleased. Top notch academics, and it is what an authentic Catholic education should look like.

We relocated from another state and couldn't be happier with this school. The teachers and staff are top notch. The school environment emphasizes academics but is engaging and nurturing as well. We are so happy with our choice. Our son just loves going to school everyday.

Joining the St. Ann School family was the best decision we've ever made for our children. This school is a hidden jewel. The academic standards are high and the environment is very nurturing. Prior to joining St. Ann's, we visited all of the other private schools in Central NJ. There is a warmth to this school that we did not find anywhere else. The teachers are the absolute best. They have high expectations and go the extra mile to help each child succeed, while reinforcing the values we teach our children at home. It's been amazing to see how our children have grown spiritually as well as academically. In addition to top notch academics, St. Ann's offers state of the art technology, music, art, library, World Language, PE and a long list of extra curricular activities, creating very well rounded, happy students! It is incredibly reassuring to know that our children will be well prepared for high school, college and whatever else they choose to pursue in their lives. We can't say enough about this school but we can tell you with absolute certainty that St. Ann's is the very best investment you can make in your child's future!

My kids attend St. Ann's and it is absolutely the best decision we ever made. They are academically challenged here and nurtured. We love this school.
