A school on a mission
ANSELMIAN ALWAYS
Founded in 1889, we have seen the world change a lot. But, you will find our mission, values and purpose remain the same. In fact, we firmly believe they are more relevant than ever. At Saint Anselm, students are encouraged to listen, to challenge, to play, to lead, to transform. Here you are welcome to be Anselmian. You are welcome to be you.

Guided by our Catholic, Benedictine liberal arts mission and identity while developing innovative market-driven strategies, we are on a path to ensure the perpetuity of the college for generations to come. Saint Anselm College is on the move.
We find in our midst an educational establishment […] in which we have a college, an institution of learning within which the youth of our diocese, the youth of the entire country, who may wish to enter its doors, will receive that higher education which develops the faculty, not only of the head, but of the heart.
