Given a challenging mission, we strive to launch lifelong learning through inspiration, exploration and connection. At Anchorage School, we attribute our success to community involvement and strong leadership among our staff.
The first aspect of Anchorage's dynamic learning environment is the commitment of the instructional staff. We emphasize professional development and skills training. Our highly diversified teachers have a wide assortment of instructional strategies and indepth content knowledge. We strive for mastery learning and connectedness so our students will be successful not only in their educational careers but also in their journeys through life. In addition, our writing and math mentor programs give teachers opportunities to share and reflect on different approaches that work for them in the classroom. This constructive analysis of classroom practices and procedures and the professional interaction create a highly effective learning environment at Anchorage Public School.
Anchorage Public School's staff is dedicated to exemplary teaching, lending the talents of teachers, parents, administrators and business leaders to achieve optimal learning experiences. These partnerships engage Anchorage students in the learning process, and they respond with impressive results both in the classroom and throughout the community! Recognizing and appreciating our parental support has enabled us to create valuable programs, which include Art Discovery, Junior Achievement, Anchor Haven and Junior Great Books. These opportunities invite parents to share their expertise on specific topics in the classroom and provide unique learning experiences. Additionally, parental and community involvement has expanded our teachers' contacts and resources within the community. Both volunteer hours and financial contributions from businesses add to our school's resources.
Anchorage's parents volunteer as:
- guest lecturers and presenters;
- classroom assistants;
- office clerical assistants; and

Our parental involvement is unmatched by any other academic institutions in the area.
