Technology
Saint Anne School integrates technology effectively across its curriculum, in all disciplines, and at all grade levels. Each classroom is equipped with SMARTBoard technology and a document camera. Grades TK–4 utilize iPads and grades 5–8 use Chromebooks. As a model Blended Learning school, we effectively utilize technology with the best adaptive software and outstanding teaching to maximize the learning experience of every student. Our technology extends to parents with our web-based Gradelink grading and progress reporting system and use of Class Dojo and Google Classroom for the most effective communication between parent and teacher.
Science
Saint Anne School offers science instruction in grades K through 8. Special enrichment in Science in grades K–5 is offered through P.S. Science, a 38-week hands-on science curriculum. Our middle school science curriculum is enriched through our collaboration with UCLA’s School of Engineering. In our Middle School Environmental Science Project, 7th and 8th grade students receive a six-week course in microbiology from UCLA faculty and graduate students. Students develop hypotheses and test local beaches for E. coli bacteria. They evaluate samples, chart results, and defend their findings before UCLA faculty and graduate students before delivering their findings in writing to the Santa Monica City Council.
