Education: St. Anastasia Catholic School

St. Annie's is more than a school, it is a loving, family community where children bloom!  We have been providing a quality education to students since 1926 in a nurturing, caring environment.  Our building speaks of the impressive tradition of Catholic Schools, and our dedicated teachers and staff support a curriculum to challenge our students intellectually and academically.

For nearly 90 years, St. Anastasia has part of the dynamic network of the Archdiocese of Chicago Catholic Schools, which are second to none.  This school system is the largest school system in the country, with  exceptionally high graduation rates and college attendance rates.  Ninety-eight percent of Catholic high school students graduate from high school and ninety-five percent go on to attend college after graduation:  The journey to success begins here.
