Anneliese Schools opened up a pop-up retail shop at the end of May. Located on South Coast Highway, all proceeds from the store support school programs like music, art, foreign languages and more.

As a private school, Anneliese did not receive government funding during the pandemic so fundraising efforts have been key. Find everything from toys and books to housewares, wellness products and specialty grocery items including farm-grown produce at the shop, which will run at least through summer. It's open Monday through Friday.
