More than 50% of our students are from faiths other than Catholic. We are truly for ALL faiths. Religion lessons are based on Christian values but in a Catholic tradition. Students leave St. Anne Catholic School with a morals and values based education that serves them well in decision making, emotional intelligence, and matter of conscience. We WANT all faiths! This is the question most asked! Click here to learn more.

Two very important things to consider are: 1. What are the teacher certification requirements? SAS Accreditation standards dictate that all of our teachers be certified by the Commonwealth of Virginia. In addition, the Diocese of Richmond Office of Catholic Schools requires that all teachers maintain state licensure during their employment. In order to maintain licenses, teachers are required to participate in professional development every year. 2. Is the school accredited and if so, by whom? St. Anne's has gone through a rigorous process to receive accreditation from the global accrediting agency Middle States Association. Middle States Association is a worldwide leader in accreditation and school improvement. For over 130 years, Middle States has been helping school leaders establish and reach their goals, develop strategic plans, promote staff development, and advance student achievement. St. Anne Catholic School is the only private school in Bristol with this accreditation. For more information about our accrediting agency please visit the ACCREDITATION page on our website.

We have a very “open-door” policy at St. Anne, so communication takes place as needed throughout the year. Progress reports (report cards) are sent home every 9 weeks. More frequent reports are available through our RenWeb page as grades are posted over the 9 week period. This helps parents keep closer track of tests, quizzes, and homework grades. RenWeb is essentially a parent portal that constantly communicates news, grades, schedule changes, and other information through a secure and private website that can only be viewed by parents, students, faculty, and staff. Students are also given national normed standardized tests three times per year to help our school better understand each student and set specific goals.
