Located on Pierrepont and Clinton Streets, Saint Ann’s School is a noted and prestigious pre-kindergarten through 12th grade private school in Brooklyn Heights. With approximately 1000 students, this tight-knit independent non-sectarian day school is regarded as one of the country’s best schools - in particular at the high school level.
Founded in 1965, this school currently boasts a 7:1 student to teacher ratio with 375 faculty. Eschewing traditional metrics, this school does not have grades and evaluates students based on detailed narrative reports, and also allows juniors and seniors to design their own curriculum. With arts programs including unique options such as animation, architecture, puppet construction, and many others, this school encourages its students to dive headfirst into their education and passions.
Saint Ann’s School’s mission gives children the freedom to explore learning and develop a deep love for lifelong learning and the arts, as well as nurture a trust in themselves and their community. Students are encouraged to chart their own course and build an independent learning route, through the support of incredible staff.

Teachers are great and if you are motivated you will thrive academically. Unfortunately, most kids do not do their work, and rules are not reinforced whatsoever. There are no consequences here which leads to an awful bullying problem that the administration mostly ignores. Teachers I knew left because of the poorly behaved students. The school needs to gain more structure.

The only thing this school gave me was a killer common app essay. Do not send your kids here if they are not wh...

Saint Ann's is an amazing school that provides a unique opportunity for kids to learn without a grade or number looming over their exploration. Of course, some students like the benchmark that grades provide or need the structure that graded work provides. However, for self-motivated learners who ar...
