Consider Classical Education

The Institute for Catholic Liberal Education (ICLE)
The Institute for Catholic Liberal Education (ICLE) was founded in 1999 to help educators renew today’s Catholic schools by drawing on the Church’s tradition, which frees teachers and students for the joyful pursuit of faith, wisdom, and virtue. St. Ann Classical Academy (SACA) is a proud premier member school of ICLE.

Diocese of Metuchen
Founded in 1965, our parochial school is under the general supervision of the Office of Schools of the Diocese of Metuchen. Catholic schools are a vital part of the teaching mission of the Church. It is through our Catholic schools that the faith is fostered and transmitted to new generations. Because Catholic schools promote the importance of integrating the Catholic faith with the educational process, the Church considers schools the primary vehicle for promoting its teaching ministry. Our mission is to provide opportunities for the people of God to be formed, informed, and transformed into disciples of Christ through the ministry of our Catholic schools. 

"Besides teaching academic subjects, SACA prepared me to be a good Catholic and to follow the teachings of my faith. In today's world, we are forced to be more concerned with being politically correct than in being able to freely express our religious beliefs. My education at St. Ann's allows me to practice my religion openly every day. Besides deepening my love for God, St. Ann's has given me a great scholastic education. The lessons that were started in pre-kindergarten will be continued as I graduate into Catholic high school and further as I move towards greater things in life.  Also, my friends and I have been together for ten years and we are very much like an extended family. I thank my parents, my teachers, and the parish benefactors who made all of this possible for me."  

"It is simply amazing to think of how fulfilling these years of Catholic school have been to me. I am grateful for my education and I feel it has strengthened my faith.  St. Ann School Academy made me a stronger and more loving person. I now look at life in a more positive way. I will never forget St. Ann's and how its classical Catholic education has changed me for life." 

"The classical Catholic education I have received at St. Ann's molded me into the spiritual, social, and academic person I am today. My teachers had a good sense of my strengths and weaknesses. They never refused to repeat lessons. They treated us as individuals. I always felt like a member of the church and school community and never just like another kid who came to learn. I was able to build friendships with schoolmates who have similar morals, values, and ways of life. I am grateful to my parents for the gift of faith they have given me by their sacrifice." 

"St. Ann's was a wonderful experience for me. During my time here, I learned many valuable lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. They are not just book lessons, but life lessons I will take wherever I go. They have shaped my life and helped me become the person I am today. The classical education and training I received here at St. Ann's, the guidance my teachers gave me, and the love and respect they taught me to give as well as to receive will never leave me. The person they helped me to be will conquer high school, college, and life beyond that. I will succeed because of the early training I received during my very young years."

"I attended St. Ann's and it was to my advantage because learning about your religion is very important to me. Catholic school is something I enjoy. Almost all of my favorite memories lie in this school. I thank my parents for giving me this opportunity and I will remember them for that forever. They make many sacrifices so I try my best to learn to the best of my ability."

"My classical Catholic education at St. Ann's reminds me of a sturdy house. The strong foundation has been faith. The walls were the new skills that kept us on the right path. The supporting beams were definitely the wonderful teachers from the primary grades to the middle school years. The roof was rounded off through the various activities in which we were engaged. We, the students, represented the different pieces of furniture, decorations, appliances placed in the house. All of these parts are necessary to build a sturdy house. I'm glad that for me, that house was St. Ann Classical Academy."
