Extraordinary Educators

The Heart of Learning at St. Anne’s School

Rooted in the latest educational neuroscience and child development research, our educators design meaningful, developmentally appropriate learning experiences that are both academically rigorous and emotionally responsive. They are the heart of our mission to nurture students who are curious, resilient, and purpose-driven.

Teaching with Intention, Leading with Purpose

St. Anne’s educators approach teaching as a craft—one that is intentional, reflective, and always evolving. Using proven frameworks like Understanding by Design (UbD) and Responsive Classroom, our teachers create classrooms where learning is purposeful, community is strong, and students are known and celebrated.

Through backward design, they begin with the end in mind—ensuring that every lesson supports the development of essential skills like critical thinking, collaboration, and empathy. With small class sizes and a commitment to differentiated instruction, our teachers personalize learning to meet each student’s unique needs, strengths, and potential.

Cultivating the Whole Child

Our educators understand that academic excellence and emotional well-being go hand in hand. As trained practitioners of social-emotional learning, they integrate SEL practices into daily routines, helping students build self-awareness, emotional resilience, and a strong sense of belonging.

Whether leading a Morning Meeting, modeling respectful communication, or encouraging student voice and choice, our teachers foster classroom environments where students feel safe to take risks, express themselves, and grow with confidence.

Lifelong Learners, Inspired Leaders

Extraordinary educators are also lifelong learners. At St. Anne’s School, our faculty engage in ongoing professional development, exploring the latest research and innovative practices in education. Tools like MindPrint allow them to gain insight into each child’s learning profile—so instruction is not only responsive, but deeply personal.

They collaborate across grade levels and disciplines to deliver an interdisciplinary, project-based education that is dynamic and relevant. From Twos to Upper School, our teachers spark curiosity and guide students to apply their learning in authentic, real-world contexts.

More Than Teachers—Mentors and Role Models

Above all, our educators model the values we seek to instill in our students: integrity, compassion, and civic responsibility. Whether helping a Preschool student navigate friendship dynamics or guiding Eighth Grade students through a Capstone project, they are present, intentional, and deeply invested in each child’s growth.

Their impact goes beyond classroom achievements—they shape confident, thoughtful, and joyful learners who are ready to make a difference in the world.
