School Advisory Council

At St. Ann Classical Academy, we are blessed with the guidance of a School Advisory Council—a group of dedicated men and women who share their time, talent, and expertise in support of our mission. Working alongside the Pastor, Head of School, and the Diocese of Metuchen, the Council helps ensure that our school remains faithful to its Catholic identity, strong in its academic vision, and well-positioned for the future.

The role of the School Advisory Council is advisory in nature. Members contribute to the good of the school by offering thoughtful insight grounded in research, data, and best practices in education and governance. They provide guidance rooted in faith, with decisions informed by logic, prudence, and Catholic teaching. They also act as representatives of the broader school community, keeping in mind the needs of families and students while setting aside personal interests.

Through this counsel, the School Advisory Council helps St. Ann Classical Academy flourish as a place where students encounter truth, beauty, and goodness, and where families are supported in their vocation as the primary educators of their children.
