St Anne’s focuses on facilitating a holistic education for each one of its girls, nurturing girls to possess an intellectual curiosity and a love of learning for its own sake. Irrespective of their subject package, St Anne’s girls have an appreciation and understanding of both the Arts and the Sciences and their impact on our world, as well as a wide general knowledge extending far beyond the immediate content of their subjects.
