History
editSt. Andrew's College, an independent boarding and day school for boys, was founded in 1899. Almost 110 years later, Head of School Kevin McHenry joked that "his stately manor would be an ideal setting for a school for girls," which began ideation for beginning the St. Anne's School under the same guidance and direction as St. Andrew's College.[2] The plans were officially announced in October 2020.[8][5]
Although the St. Anne's School mansion officially opened for the 2023 school year, the schools first cohort of students in grade 9 began within the St. Andrew's Cygnet Centre for the duration of the 2022–2023 academic year. The St. Anne's School mansion located at 162 St. John's Sideroad adjacent to the St. Andrews College campus commenced operations with 156 students for the 2023–2024 academic year.[9][10]
