École St. Anne School

Welcome, Bienvenue

École St. Anne School was built on the West Hill in 1958, constructed to meet the needs of much expansion in this area. Its first principal was Sister Justine of the Servants of Mary order, and it is her name which is found on the dedication plaque of the modern auditorium which was later added.

The Servants of Mary had taught in some of the other separate schools, notably St. John’s, and were devoted in their extra curriculum teaching, such as that of the Ukrainian language at Saturday classes. Each school in the separate school system, while following certain fundamental principles, still possesses its own uniqueness.

Our Patron Saint:

St. Anne is the mother of Mary and the grandmother of Jesus.  When Anne and her husband Joachim prayed for a child, it seemed that God did not hear their prayers because many years passed and still no child.  However, they kept praying.

When it seemed that Anne was too old to have children, God answered their prayers and graced them with a child.  They called their special child, Mary, a name which means “incense that rises up to God”.  Mary became the most blessed of women as she was chosen to be the mother of the Messiah.

St. Anne demonstrated to us that prayer, perseverance, and gratitude are very important in life.  These values are important for us at École St. Anne School.  St Anne’s feast day is July 26.

Principal’s Message:

Welcome to École St. Anne School,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to École St. Anne School, a vibrant Kindergarten to Grade 8 dual track Catholic school offering both a French Immersion program and an English program, along with three Prekindergarten programs for our youngest learners (3- and 4-year-olds). At École St. Anne, we are proud to be a community where faith, language, and learning come together to form the foundation of an exceptional educational experience.

Our students are nurtured academically, spiritually, emotionally, and socially in a supportive and inclusive environment. Through high academic standards and the dedication of our caring staff, we work in partnership with families to ensure that every child is encouraged and supported in reaching their full potential.

Rooted in Catholic values, our school fosters a deep sense of respect, compassion, and responsibility. Daily prayer, religious education, and opportunities for community service are integral parts of school life, guiding our students as they grow in both faith and character.

We believe that education is a shared journey. We warmly welcome parents and guardians to be active participants in their child’s learning and value the strong relationships that help our students flourish.

Together, we continue to build a community where every child feels supported, inspired, and empowered to succeed.

God Bless!

Gisèle Stalwick
