Welcome

St. Anselm Catholic School

At St. Anselm Catholic Elementary School, students excel through a wide range of academics and athletics. In addition to our core curriculum, Art, Spanish, Computer, Music and Physical Education are provided by certified teachers with expertise in each specific subject.

St. Anselm boasts strong parent involvement, and together with our faculty, continuously strives to promote a well-rounded, Catholic-centered learning environment and prepares each student with the knowledge, ambition and foundation to succeed.

Our beautiful school campus provides students with a large soccer field, two baseball diamonds, brand new playground equipment and peaceful surroundings. The school building includes a library, art room, computer lab, full gymnasium and our very own “Café Moloney” cafeteria. Each classroom is equipped with Wi-Fi, a smart TV, Blu-ray player and white boards. Each teacher has their own iPad and we house iPads for student use.

Working closely with our students, we ensure their minds stay vibrantly alive and challenged. With excellent academics, athletics and Catholic values, our students grow and are successful from Preschool to 8th grade and beyond.

Imagine what St. Anselm could do for your child!

Welcome from the Principal

Welcome and thank you for visiting our website!

St. Anselm Catholic School has been educating students in grades preschool- eighth grade for over 50 years. At St. Anselm Catholic School, your student will enjoy one on one attention in small classes, while experiencing our various CYO Sports Programs, multiple clubs, and in-school and after-school opportunities.

We have an updated, freshly painted facility, with a new playground. We have brand new Wi-Fi and
Technology, new Smart Boards, Chromebooks, iPads, and an updated computer lab. Our teachers are
experienced and dedicated. Over half of our staff holds Masters Degrees or higher in education and/or specific, core subject areas. Over half of our staff has children who have attended or currently attend St. Anselm. We are not just a school, we are a family.

Within the past few years, our school has grown exponentially. We excelled at various types of learning during the pandemic. Our school community grew by over 30% from 2020-2022. We have expanded our Early Childcare Program and have over 50 students enrolled in Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten. We have completed over a half of a million dollar renovation on our campus, which included updated technology and classroom furniture. We have multiple staff members who have been honored as “teachers of the year” within the Archdiocese of Detroit. The Stag community was also honored as one of the top schools in the country (and the top five in Michigan) that participate in the American Heart Association Kids Heart Challenge.

We have achieved so much, but our biggest strength is our faith-filled community including our kind
students and their families. I invite you to come tour our building, our beautiful campus, and meet our caring staff. I am positive that you will find the right fit for your student here at St. Anselm Catholic School.

With Christ’s Blessings,

Mrs. Angela Kraetke
Principal
