St Anastasia School

What St Anastasia School does

St. Anastasia Catholic School is a private, non-profit Catholic parish school serving Pre-K through 8th grade students at a single campus at 401 South 33rd Street, Fort Pierce, Florida. Founded in 1926 by three Dominican Sisters from Adrian, Michigan, and operated under the Diocese of Palm Beach Office of Catholic Schools, the school is the parish school of St. Anastasia Catholic Church (407 South 33rd Street) and will mark its centennial in 2026. Its academic product comprises the Vincent & Lillian Guettler Early Childhood Learning Center (Pre-K3 and Pre-K4/VPK), a self-contained Primary Program (K-2) with teacher assistants, an Intermediate Program (grades 3-5), a Middle School Program (grades 6-8) with three levels of math/ELA rigor and elective courses, the Morning Star Program for students with unique learning needs, an Enrichment and Fine Arts program, an award-winning Athletic Program (Treasure Coast Athletic Conference), and a Learning Resource Program offering speech, language, and occupational therapy.

The school's technology stack is conventional educational IT rather than proprietary: iPads in all grade levels, classroom desktops, a computer lab, a collaboration lab, Google Suite, FACTS (RenWeb) Family Portal for SIS/payments, TerraNova3 and InView standardized assessment for grades 2-8, and curriculum partnerships with Abrams Learning (Pre-K) and Florida Virtual School (Algebra I, Geometry, Foreign Language for high-school credit). No proprietary AI/ML capabilities or AI-native products are evidenced.

Revenue is generated through a diversified stream: tuition (with parishioner vs. non-parishioner rate tiers), Florida Step Up for Students scholarships (private $7,744-$8,324 and Unique Abilities $10,463-$11,043 per student for 2025-2026), state-funded Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK), St. Lucie County School District food service (universal free breakfast), athletic and intramural fees ($75-$125), on-campus uniform store sales (also serving John Carroll Catholic High School), and donations via the Faith in Action Annual Fund and events such as the Building on Faith Gala and Rams Fun Run. Go-to-market is community-led: parish referrals, open houses, new-student orientations, the school website, Facebook, Instagram, and email newsletters, with athletic programs and special events as mid-funnel touchpoints. The school's served market is Treasure Coast families seeking faith-integrated K-8 education, with Florida's 2025-2026 universal Step Up for Students eligibility materially expanding the addressable population.
