St. Anne's School of Annapolis

What St. Anne's School of Annapolis does

St. Anne's School of Annapolis is an independent, co-educational Episcopal day school incorporated in 1994 (with roots tracing to 1957) serving approximately 280 students from Twos through 8th Grade across 195 families drawn from more than 28 zip codes in Anne Arundel County, the Eastern Shore, Prince George's County, and Southern Maryland. The institution operates from a 10-acre campus on Arundel on the Bay Road in Annapolis, MD, structured into three academic divisions — Program for Young Children (Twos-PreK, Reggio Emilia-inspired), Lower School (K-4th, project-based), and Upper School (5th-8th, Developmental Designs framework with high school placement). Specialized services include the Center for Learning (Orton-Gillingham literacy intervention with 5 trained tutors, targeted academic intervention, executive functioning support), Athletics, Extended Day care, and Summer Explorers Camps (Little Stars and Rising Stars).

The school's technology footprint is modest and pedagogical: the MyCompass (MySchoolApp) parent/student portal with iOS and Android apps, MindPrint cognitive assessment for Grades 3-8, Google Calendar/iCal sync, and curriculum frameworks including Understanding by Design, Responsive Classroom, and Science of Reading/Orton-Gillingham. Revenue is generated primarily through tiered academic tuition ($9,776-$28,714 for 2026-27 depending on program level and schedule), with auxiliary streams from Summer Explorers Camp ($330-395/week), Extended Day Programs, Center for Learning fees, the Constellation Fund annual giving campaign (~$300K goal, 8% of operating budget), the Equity in Education Scholarship Endowment, and an annual Auction & Gala. Financial accessibility is delivered through the Tailored Tuition program (need-based aid processed via Clarity), plus merit- and need-based scholarships (Future Leaders, Paige R. Miller, Equity in Education Scholarship covering 100% of costs through 8th grade). The go-to-market is admissions-driven with private tours, Open Houses, community events (MESStival, Haunted Harvest, Holiday Bazaar), and word-of-mouth within the parent and alumni community.
