About the Provider
Archbishop Neale School is a private Catholic elementary school located in La Plata, Maryland. We provide a two-track system for grades Pre-K through 8 and our curriculum is centered on the Archdiocese of Washington graded course of study. Departments are organized as follows: Primary (Grades Pre-K – 3); Intermediate (Grades 4-5); Junior High (Grades 6-8). Grades 5-8 are departmentalized. We are fully accredited, and our teachers are certified by the State of Maryland in their specific areas. As a consolidated school, we serve Catholic students from seven parishes. We also have many non-Catholics as well as students from several outlying parishes throughout Southern Maryland. Since 1927, parents have entrusted their children to ANS because they are assured of an excellent, Archdiocesan standards based academic curriculum that encompasses the Catholic faith and values, and is delivered in a safe, caring environment.
