News about St. Anselm School
I was surprised to hear the news about St. Anselm School. Rumors were going around stating that the school was closing due to low enrollment. I’ve seen this happened to a half a dozen Catholic schools in Brooklyn over the years. St. Anselm School in Bay Ridge is not closing, but it is becoming an Academy.
In 2009, Our Lady of Angels was thinking about shutting down, but through an initiative known as Sharing the Vision, the school became Holy Angels Catholic Academy. Saint Anselm School will be called St. Anselm Catholic Academy and will be run by a Board of Directors, not the parish. People have described an Academy school being like a charter school housed in a Catholic school building.
I think giving this type a school a chance is good for parents who want to have a choice in the type of school their child goes to.
