St. Anne's Episcopal School (Delaware) Chooses Connor Associates for Comprehensive Research Project

President Mike Connor is pleased to announce that St. Anne’s Episcopal School has engaged Connor Associates in a comprehensive project that will position the School for its next level of success by honing its value, marketability, and sustainability. The work will conclude with a strategic session to bolster a successful transition from the research to real-world execution of the recommendations.

St. Anne’s Episcopal School in Middletown, Delaware was founded in 2002 as a private, independent day school for students in Preschool - Grade 8. Students are encouraged to be authentically who they are while SAES provides a brave space to take risks. A true embodiment of the Christian faith, SAES celebrates all persons, regardless of origin, background, ability, or religion, while striving for justice, equity, and peace, and respecting the dignity of every human being.

Supporting students and families during the pandemic and beyond

SAES features many laudable assets, including its impressive outdoor education feature, which was prominently featured on ABC news last September for student learning during the pandemic. Connor Associates looks forward to working with a talented school and leadership team at SAES.

As we prepare to enter into our third decade, we firmly believe that the best is yet to come. We are excited about working with Connor Associates as they will help inform our planning efforts by providing us with fact-based information about our rapidly growing community along with data related to what families value most about an educational setting in general, and about St. Anne’s in particular.
— Barry Davis, Head of School at St. Anne's Episcopal School (DE)
