St. Anselm’s Abbey School is an independent, Roman Catholic day school for boys with demonstrated academic ability in grades 6 – 12. Students at St. Anselm’s establish a solid foundation in the liberal arts through a rigorous classical education. The school was founded in 1942 by Benedictine monks。The focus of St. Anselm’s is not purely on academics; the richly philosophical nature of the school enables great personal and social growth among the individuals and the community. A St. Anselm’s education does not simply prepare a boy for college but also for life as a considerate and thoughtful man.
