École Sainte-Anne or E.S.A. is an entirely French language 6-12 school in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. The school is located in the Centre Communautaire Sainte-Anne which is the heart and soul of Fredericton's thriving francophone and Acadian community. The school's history is linked to a historic struggle for education in French in this majority anglophone region of Canada's only officially bilingual province.
Since January 1978, École Sainte-Anne has been a permanent fixture in Fredericton's landscape and now accommodates about 1000 students, and a second school on the same property, École des Bâtisseurs, opened in the fall of 2007.
