Anchor was founded in 1979 by the Lutheran Schools Association of Anchorage (LSSA) as a non-profit, independent school with the support of associated churches, Zion Lutheran Church and Anchorage Lutheran Church. In 1985, the Lutheran Center was completed and classes moved from the associated churches to the current location on Arctic Boulevard.
