The differences start showing up when we ask how modern educators conceive of the future awaiting their students, and the correspondent act of preparation required to ready them for that future. To an overwhelming extent, the future laid out before students enmeshed in our standard educational system is one that is predominantly economic in nature. On this understanding, students will be workers, and ideally workers with a bent towards upward mobility. They will be parts of the “twenty-first-century economy” or the “global marketplace” or some other cant phrase casually thrown around by bureaucrats these days when they talk about our schools. Even the recent radicalization of our schools provides evidence of this career orientation; the verbiage of “woke” is just the lingua franca of the board room and the government agency, in which aspiring youth must become fluent in order to advance through those arenas.

There are many different types of schools to choose from these days, and the options can be overwhelming for parents. Public schools, private schools, charter schools, classical schools...the list goes on and on. So what is the best option for your child? Some parents may automatically choose a public school because they are free, but there are many benefits to sending your child to a classical Catholic academy, such as St. Ann Classical Academy in Raritan, NJ. Let's take a closer look at what classical education entails and why it could be the perfect choice for your family.

St. Ann Classical Academy is offering an open house event for students, parents, and prospective students. Come meet our faculty and learn how our classical education plans encourage creativity in your child! St. Ann’s open house is a three-part day, designed to give our parents the opportunity to see into the day-to-day of our students' lives! Register for our open house event and see what makes St. Ann’s a great place to learn.

Until last year, there did not seem to be much difference in what, and how, I learned at school from my friends at public schools, except that I took a religion class each day...

Being a teacher at St. Ann Classical Academy I can live out what I have learned through my experience growing up going to Catholic School with the added bonus of classical teaching.

When I interviewed for a position at Saint Ann’s School, I was asked why I wanted to work in a Catholic school. I had no idea the journey I would embark upon as a result of accepting this position.

Welcome back, students and teachers! Even masks can’t hide the excitement we are feeling to be back together again. St. Ann Classical Academy is open for full-day, in-person K- 8 instruction five days a week. We are still accepting students for the 20-21 school year. Come see the difference classical in-person education is all about. Call 908.725.7787 for more info.
