What is St. Anselm School?

Updated

St. Anselm School is a Catholic school in Chesterland, Ohio, serving students from preschool onward. Its stated focus is "Exceptional Catholic Education for Every Student," organized around three themes it names on its homepage: faith, leadership, and innovation. If you are looking for a faith-based school in the Chesterland area, or trying to understand what stanselmschool.org represents before contacting the school, the sections below cover what the site itself makes clear.

Location and contact

The school's published address and phone number are:

  • Address: 13013 Chillicothe Road, Chesterland, OH 44026
  • Phone: 440-729-7806

These details appear in the site's header and footer, so they are the most reliable starting points for reaching the school directly.

What the school says about itself

The homepage leads with the phrase "Rooted in Faith & Built on Excellence" and repeats a three-part identity: Faith, Leadership, Innovation. The stated educational promise is "Exceptional Catholic Education for Every Student."

The site also presents alumni testimonials. One graduate, John, describes Catholic education as building "a strong foundation of values and how to live my life," and credits growing up in the St. Anselm community. Another, Christine, says the school and parish community prepared her "to be a contributing member of my community" and left her "uniquely qualified to meet any educational challenges" in high school and college.

These are the school's own framing and voices, not independent assessments — useful for understanding its priorities, but not a substitute for visiting or asking questions.

Programs and academics

The site's navigation shows the range of what it offers:

  • Academics, including a STREAM (STEM) Learning program — the added "R" typically signals religion or the arts integrated into STEM.
  • Faith and community life, listed under Faith Family & Community.
  • Student life, including CYO Athletics and Clubs & Extracurriculars.
  • Preschool, with its own schedule page.
  • Extended Care Program and a Lunch Program for families needing coverage beyond the school day.

If your child is at the preschool stage, the dedicated Preschool and Schedule A Tour pages are the most relevant next stops.

Admissions and cost

The admissions area includes:

  • Registration & Tuition
  • Schedule A Tour
  • EdChoice Expansion — a reference to Ohio's EdChoice scholarship program, which can affect what families actually pay.
  • Angel Scholarship — a named scholarship opportunity listed on the site.

The site does not publish specific tuition figures in the material available here, so treat cost as something to confirm directly with the school rather than assume. The presence of EdChoice Expansion and the Angel Scholarship suggests financial assistance pathways exist, but eligibility and amounts are not stated on the homepage.

For current families

The Parents section collects the practical, day-to-day information:

  • School Uniforms & Handbook
  • Parent Club
  • Digital Academy & FACTS (FACTS is a common tuition-management and payment platform)
  • Extended Care Program
  • Lunch Program
  • Calendar, Supply List, & Medication Forms & Policy
  • Curriculum Guides

If you are already enrolled, this is where the operational details live.

How to decide whether to look further

St. Anselm School fits the profile of a parish-connected Catholic school with a preschool-through-elementary focus, a STEM/STREAM emphasis, and scholarship options tied to Ohio's EdChoice program. The clearest way to evaluate it is to use the site's own Schedule a Visit option and ask directly about tuition, class sizes, and EdChoice eligibility — none of which the homepage resolves on its own.
