St. Anne School is a PreK-8 Catholic school on top of Queen Anne Hill, founded in 1923 as the parish school of St. Anne Catholic Church. The structure is one class per grade level, with roughly 240-258 students total — small enough that cross-grade activities and named-by-the-teacher community are real, large enough to staff a full elementary curriculum. The school is among the leading PreK-8s in the Archdiocese of Seattle.
Within Seattle's Catholic K-8 set, St. Anne sits alongside Holy Names Academy's lower years (St. Joseph on Capitol Hill, Christ the King in North Seattle, Assumption-St. Bridget on Sand Point, Villa Academy on Lake Washington), with the Queen Anne / Magnolia geographic draw setting it apart. Tuition runs around $11,500, comparable to peer parish K-8s and well below the secular independents (Bertschi, Spruce Street, UCDS) that dominate the same neighborhoods.
The academic program is conventional Catholic-school college-prep with religion integrated across grades, supplemented by a single section per grade rather than tracked classes. Graduates typically feed into Seattle Prep, Holy Names, O'Dea, Bishop Blanchet, and Eastside Catholic — the standard Seattle Catholic high-school pipeline. The student-teacher ratio is approximately 19:1, higher than the elite secular independents but typical of parish schools with one section per grade.
