Signature Experiences

At St. Anne’s-Belfield School, we are first and foremost an academic community. The best way to help children flourish is to support and partner with our families. Our community reaches beyond the classroom to build strong, intentional relationships with the whole family.

The warm, welcoming community and attentive staff made the transition smooth and exciting. We’re excited about the opportunities ahead and grateful for a school that values strong academics along with a caring environment.
Alan Taylor, P. ’34 Parent

Community Events

Cheer on our Saints athletes, bring the family to an arts performance, attend a lecture, come decked in maroon for our Fall Family Festival or Maroon & White Party, roll up your sleeves and volunteer alongside a local organization during Saints Serve Saturday— our School community loves to come together.

Chapel

Chapel has existed at St. Anne’s-Belfield since our founding in 1910. While today’s Chapel is inclusive of all faiths, backgrounds, and beliefs, it remains one of the sacred traditions of the School. We gather every-other week to sing together, listen to a message, celebrate highlights, and build community. Student voice is an important component of our Chapel program.

Interaction Across Grade Levels

From their first day of school through the time they are initiated into our expansive, global alumni network, all Saints know they are part of a caring and vibrant community. With students from age 2 to Grade 12 and representing 20+ countries, your student will have the opportunity to interact with students of all ages and backgrounds through programs like Chapel Buddies.

The Parents’ Association (PA)

The Parents’ Association provides many opportunities for families to become involved. In your student’s class, parents and guardians serve as grade level reps, support special events, volunteer in the library, and more.

Parent/Guardian Programming

Wednesday Wellness webinars connect child development experts with our parents and the larger community; Curriculum Night gives parents and guardians a peek into the academic program; and various parent/guardian chats during the school year focus on a variety of topics relevant to raising your children.

Parent/Guardian Partnership Meetings

Our Parent/Guardian Partnership Meetings, the first of which takes place prior to the start of school, enable faculty and family caregivers to form an important connection and build strong communication between home and School.
