Our Vision: We Envision…
The Anchor Mission: Empowering every learner -- spiritually, emotionally, and academically -- in a Christ-centered community.
General Learning Targets embody what we want all students to know:
Skills and Attributes We CultivateWe intentionally develop student attributes and skills that prepare them for success in school and in life, including:
- A diverse student body representing families from South-Central Alaska and around the world.
- Equitable opportunities for success measured by multiple performance indicators, not a single standard.
- Individualized learning that adapts to each student, rather than requiring every student to fit the system.
- Innovative teaching, where faculty deliver the General Learning Targets (GLTs) in creative and motivating ways.
- Students as community contributors, equipped with the academic knowledge and personal skills to thrive.
- Purpose-driven learning, where students see meaning in what they study and how it shapes their future.
- Faculty and staff who flourish, finding job satisfaction, pride, purpose, and opportunities for personal growth.
- Parents who are engaged and valued, feeling well-informed, respected, and satisfied with their partnership in education
- A strong presence in Anchorage and beyond, where Anchor Lutheran School is recognized locally and globally as a model of educational excellence.
