General Information

Our School Profile

 

 

St. Anne is an elementary school of approximately 625 students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade Eight. It is home to students of many diverse social and ethnic backgrounds and serves the downtown core area of the City of Brampton.  It is a fairly transient community and services students from numerous language groups with the three largest non English groups speaking Spanish, Portuguese and Tagalog (Philippino). The special education and ELL programs have a strong emphasis on integration for students needing intensive remediation.  In addition to the regular English stream offered from J.K. to Grade Eight, the school also serves as a regional Extended French School for the area of North Brampton. 

 

For 40 years, St. Anne School has been a dynamic, Christ centered learning environment.  Catholic Education, rooted in Christ, is called to a unique way of seeing and interacting with our world.  Through the examples of our master teacher, Christ, we take our calling to “reach out into the deep” and “be community” for others seriously. Our Catholic view of academics, spiritual and moral development, sacramental preparation, prayer, discipline, and community, challenge us to use our learning for the benefit of others.  We are called to be Christ for others.

 

At St. Anne School our commitment to academic excellence is a shared responsibility.   As a Staff and School Council, we work hard bringing together students, parents, teachers, pastoral team, trustees and other partners to form a Catholic community in the service of the spiritual, intellectual, physical and emotional needs of students in our care. 

 

Our students come to us with a variety of strengths and needs, with their Catholic faith as their common bond.  Our prayer life, liturgical celebrations, the sacraments, and our faith and values system form the foundation of our school program. The curriculum is broad, balanced and relevant to the needs and aspirations of all our students.  A wide range of subjects and learning experiences are offered to develop the skills, abilities and talents of individual students.  Accordingly, appropriate assessment procedures are employed regularly to motivate and encourage student success.  To ensure coherence and wholeness, subjects are taught within the context of The Ontario Curriculum, Gospel values and sound educational practices.
