Arts & Athletics
Summary: The Performing Arts department of St. Anne's-Belfield School believes that creative accomplishment and imaginative thinking are crucial to a complete education. By actively performing and producing works of art, our students learn to express themselves with precision and insight, to balance creativity and craftsmanship, and to make connections between their own artistic ideas and those past and present. We encourage individual experimentation and risk-taking, while also providing a rigorous foundation in skills. Whether in the visual arts, music, or theatre, we provide opportunities for students to publicly perform or display their work. A long-standing tradition of St. Anne’s-Belfield School has been our large and inclusive sports program. We recognize the important balance between academics and athletics, and we believe strongly that regular exercise, development of skills, and interscholastic athletic competition play critical roles in each student’s growth. Our sports program does much to contribute to the development of our students’ good character and to enhance our overall school spirit. Our Middle School and junior varsity programs stress participation regardless of a student’s previous experience or level of talent. At the varsity level, we compete against other strong athletic programs.

Graduates
Summary: The College Counseling Office at St. Anne’s-Belfield School is committed to helping students find the best college for them. There are over 3,000 fine colleges and universities across the nation with much to offer our students. The Counseling Office’s role in this process is to help you learn about the range of schools available, assist in presenting you to the college admission committee in the most compelling manner, and help you select the school which will provide the best environment for you to learn and grow during your undergraduate career. We will encourage you to thoroughly research all available options and occasionally reach beyond the familiar and take risks. Sometimes the best match could be a college or university you have never considered. College Counseling at St. Anne's-Belfield School is very personalized, with three counselors serving a class of 80 to 90 students in each grade level. College Counseling begins on an informal basis in the freshman and sophomore years with group meetings to discuss decision-making, goal-setting, and course selection. The second semester of the junior year, the student-counselor relationship is formalized. Counselors hold individual meetings with both parents and students to start the more intensive college research process. Regular communication is maintained with both students and parents, as students identify the type of school that is the right “match” for them, and narrow their list of choices.
