Spiritually, Physically, Academically & Socially

Anna’s House is a non-profit, school and licensed childcare program for children ages 3 to 12 years with the goal of being a religiously exempt facility within the year.
When Stuart Hall closed down their lower grades last summer a group of teachers gathered together to try to open a school that would also be a child care center to help serve the needs of the children who had lost their school. They reached out to Christi Crittenden who they knew was working to open a preschool. With the ground work that she had done, they were able to modify her plan, work together and with a great deal of persistence and community support, open the school by Labor Day. With the recent news that Stuart Hall will be phasing out the rest of their elementary program, Anna’s House is working to transition and accommodate these additional grades, providing a rigorous academic elementary option for the city of Staunton.
Our mission is to assist in caring for each individual’s growth; spiritually, physically, academically, and socially in a nurturing environment. It will seek to foster a love of learning, independence, and self-confidence in an atmosphere of mutual respect.
Anna's House was founded on February 15, 2019 and opened September 8, 2020 to serve the needs of families in Staunton and the surrounding area. In partnership with VSDB, from which we rent facilities, we offer an outstanding educational program for children age PreK-3 through grade three. Fifth grade will be served in the 2022-2023 school year.
