Saint Ann School Foundation

OUR HISTORY

In 1982, a small group of dedicated Saint Ann Parishioners decided to create a Foundation, independent of the Diocese of Venice. This 501c(3) Corporation is organized exclusively for the aid and support of Saint Ann School, a PRE-K - 8th grade school located in Naples, Florida. We provide full and partial scholarships for students qualifying for financial assistance at Saint Ann School.

OUR SCHOOL
: Home of the Dolphins

In 1956, Pastor Timothy Geary opened Saint Ann School to provide a Catholic education for the 100 families of the parish. While construction of the school’s initial buildings progressed, the Sisters of St. Joseph held classes in what today is known as Rooney Hall, under the giant banyan tree. Today we enjoy a state-of-the-art campus in beautiful downtown Naples. Saint Ann School, home of the dolphins, currently has 400 souls in Pre-K to 8th Grade and provides excellence in education of spirit, mind and body.
