Anchor has a strong history of academic success since its founding in 1979. Students have achieved successful results, entered quality universities, and moved further into the larger society as positive contributing citizens of an increasingly more interconnected world. It has been the community atmosphere, the caring and nurturing teachers, and the students themselves who have been responsible for Anchor's success.
We are developing student-centered approaches to learning in order to encourage students to build their skill sets and develop their learning through an inquiry format. The teachers provide effective approaches to teaching to ensure that the content is contextualized and relevant to the real world.
Regardless of whether students attend Anchor from Kindergarten through Grade 12 or only stay a few years, we want to ensure that they have access to the academic and life skills that will help them to succeed both now and into the future. The schoolwide learning outcomes for all Anchor students are summarized in our General Learning Targets (GLTs).
