The Abbey is more than a school — it is a true brotherhood. On our beautiful 40-acre campus in Washington, DC, you will find a supportive community where you can stretch your mind, test your limits, and find balance. Here, classes push you to think bigger and ask deeper questions, helping you uncover your talents and shape your path.
You won't do it alone. The Benedictine monks of St. Anselm’s are part of everyday life here, serving as teachers, coaches, and mentors. Alongside a dedicated faculty, they help shape a culture of inspired learning, grounding your academic journey in values, faith, and a shared commitment to serving others. Whether you’re leading a club, competing on the field, or exploring the arts, you will build the confidence to step outside your comfort zone.
We are excited to help you and your family navigate the admission process. We invite you to join us on campus for an open house or a shadow day to experience the energy and community of the Abbey for yourself.Inquire Today!

Connor Paletta, Class of 2025
The Abbey has helped me grow through the community. Because of the small class sizes everyone got along quickly and that helped us work through projects together. If it wasn't for my classmates, I would not have adjusted as quickly as I did. Sports and other activities gave me more time to get to know the other students.
