History
Anchor Lutheran School (ALS) is located on Arctic Boulevard near Dimond Boulavard in Anchorage, Alaska. ALS was founded in 1979 by the Lutheran Schools Association of Anchorage 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 church to the current location on Arctic Boulevard. Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church, the Congregation that shares the Lutheran Center with ALS, was added as an associated church. LSSA is a non-profit (501 C-3) organization located in Anchorage, Alaska, operated by an appointed Board of Directors. Approximately 160 students from over 20 Christian denominations attend ALS in pre-school through Grade 8 (Ages 3-15). The school year is comprised of 180 student contact days. The school day begins at 9:00 am and ends at 3:30 pm. There is a robust after-school activity and sports program available after school hours.
ALS has a full 6-year term of accreditation with the National Lutheran School Accreditation (NLSA). ALS graduates have been accepted and enrolled in top universities worldwide and currently contribute to our communities through employment, including doctors, engineers, teachers, and contractors.
ALS has a dedicated and talented group of educators on its campus. They are a diverse team comprised from all over the United States, most of whom come from Alaska. Over 70% of faculty carry post-graduate degrees in education.
