our mission

The mission of St. Ann Classical Academy is to build a foundation for our students in the knowledge of the goodness, beauty, and truth of God’s creation, both visible and invisible; to cultivate an understanding of the true nature of the human person intellectually, physically, socially, and spiritually; and to nurture them as Christian disciples leading them into a personal relationship with Jesus, the Source of all knowledge and wisdom.
our VIsion

St. Ann Classical Academy envisions a community where students are formed in virtue, wisdom, and faith, fully equipped to engage the modern world with an unwavering commitment to truth, beauty, and goodness. We aspire to be a beacon of classical education, nurturing a love for learning and a deep sense of Catholic identity in each student. St. Ann Classical Academy will continue to grow and develop as the only classical school in the Diocese of Metuchen.
Our Core Values
The core values of St. Ann Classical Academy are rooted in its mission to offer a Catholic education that integrates faith with the classical liberal arts tradition. Central to these values are:
1. Faith: St. Ann Classical Academy fosters a strong Catholic identity, aiming to develop students both spiritually and morally, guiding them toward a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
2. Truth, Beauty, and Goodness: St. Ann's education focuses on discovering God's creation, emphasizing intellectual, social, and spiritual growth.
3. Integrated Curriculum: Subjects are taught in a way that reveals their interconnection, especially in relation to God.
4. Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving: Students are encouraged to think deeply, ask questions, and seek wisdom, rather than simply memorizing facts for tests. This classical model aims to cultivate lifelong learners.
These values guide the school’s approach to education, helping students to grow in both knowledge and virtue.
