A Place Where Children Thrive

Both my children have thrived because they've found a warm, welcoming, and supportive community...I'm confident having gone through St. Anne's-Belfield, not only will they be critical thinkers, but they'll also have a good sense of their morals, their values, and how they want to really have a positive impact on the world.

Why St. Anne's-Belfield?


Get to Know Our Faculty 

Estefanía Cruz, one of our Middle School Spanish teachers, sits down with her students for an interview about why she loves teaching and what her hidden talent is! 

All Grade 5 students take Spanish or French, staying with that language throughout Middle School. Fifth graders also all take Visual Arts, Theatre, Music & Movement, Orchestra, and P.E. More and more choice is introduced each year as students develop a greater understanding of who they are as learners, leaders, and individuals. Middle School athletics begins in Grade 7.
