About

Located on a beautiful forty-acre campus in Washington, DC, St. Anselm’s is an independent Catholic school for motivated and academically gifted young men. Founded in 1942 by monks of the Order of Saint Benedict, St. Anselm’s maintains a rigorous classical curriculum that prepares students for lives of excellence. Each boy, known in his uniqueness, is trained in science, history, foreign languages, literature, and the arts. The fields and the trees, and the 1500-year tradition of Benedictine spirituality, provide a physical and intellectual place of contemplation and learning that helps our students make sense of, and use appropriately, the technology and the information so widely available to them. Also, our unique environment and education assists our graduates in being more aware of the world around them and in being attentive to the needs of others. Our mission is to “create an atmosphere of peace, a sense of service to community, and a willingness within our students to work toward a balance in mind, body, and spirit.”
