"And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3:17)

Established in 1949, St. Anne's Catholic School is Bristol, Virginia's only Catholic school and its oldest, existing, non-public school. The faculty and staff strive to provide a stimulating learning environment which will meet the unique needs of our students and help them develop spiritually, intellectually, socially, and physically. A strong, well-balanced curriculum employing a variety of learning approaches prepares the students for their responsibilities in a changing world. The educational process is further enhanced by the cooperative efforts of students, teachers, administration, parents, the governing body, and other concerned members of the community.

Serving a diverse student population in grades Pre-K through 8, St. Anne's Catholic School is committed to the values of Catholic Christian education. Spiritual training is aimed at developing the individual student's personal faith commitment.

The aims of Catholic education are:
1. to build a Christian learning community based upon the Gospel of
Jesus Christ;

2. to celebrate God's presence through shared prayer and liturgy;

3. to welcome all who are interested in membership in our school
community, to emphasize our rich diversity, to reverence our
uniqueness, and to reconcile our differences;

4. to educate students to be aware of the needs of others and to be of
service to one another and the community as a whole; and

5. to provide citizenship experiences which will prepare students to
function as members of a free American society.
