About Us

With many tireless years invested in the public education system it has become more and more clear that our children need a solid and firm foundation, an anchor, to their faith that will guide them through not only their education but their lives as a whole. We at Anchor believe that a strong faith and relationship with the Lord is the first piece to educating the whole child. For from a happy, full heart knowledge is well received.

Our Mission

At Anchor, our goal is to offer a hybrid type of education where kids and parents have the best of a more traditional school, and learning from home models! Our students and parents are free to have the flexibility that a home school model offers, and at the same time offering a customized curriculum that will ensure academic success at every level of education.

​

Anchor is committed to giving children a unique experience with focus on small classes (no more than 15 per class), individualized instruction, Montessori style learning, extracurricular activities, and socialization that goes beyond the traditional school experience.

“Anchor is unique in the fact that they work with the parents to disciple and educate kids both at home, and at school. I love the opportunities this hybrid option provides, all while keeping Jesus at the forefront. Ms. Jenny appreciates the students desire to go deeper into a subject, all while encouraging their individual skill level. My son enjoys Anchor and has opportunities there that he would not have at home. Thank you Anchor! "

Classroom Descriptions

We understand that parents need options. We offer programs for Pre-K, elementary, middle school, and high school ages. Options include two day a week and four day a week enrollment opportunities.

Middle School Classroom

Primary Classroom

Our primary classrooms are composed of children ages 4-6 years old. We limit our class size to 15 students per day with a lead teacher and assistant. We strive through Montessori philosophy to offer our students freedom of movement, hands-on, engaging, and rigorous work in all content areas including; Reading, Math, Science, Culture, Practical Life, and Sensorial. Each child is met at their own independent learning level and encouraged forward from that point with individualized instruction.

Lower Elementary Classroom

Our Lower Elementary classrooms are composed of children ages 6-9 years old. We limit our class size to 15 students per day with a lead teacher and assistant. We strive through Montessori philosophy to offer our students freedom of movement, hands-on, engaging, and rigorous work in all content areas including; Reading, Math, Science, Culture. Each child is met at their own independent learning level and encouraged forward from that point with individualized instruction.

Upper Elementary Classroom

Our Upper Elementary classrooms are composed of children ages 9-12 years old. We limit our class size to 15 students per day with a lead teacher and a floating assistant. We strive through a blend of Montessori philosophies and other curricula to offer our students freedom of movement, hands-on, engaging, and rigorous work in all content areas including; Reading, Math, Science, Culture. Each child is met at their own independent learning level and encouraged forward from that point with individualized instruction while incorporating small/whole group instruction as our students make their way down the path to abstraction.

A message from our Directors...

Anchor Academy was founded out of a shared calling and a deep belief that ​

every child deserves a Christ-centered education that recognizes and nurtures their unique gifts, abilities, and learning journey.

With more than

of combined experience in education,

30 years

we have seen firsthand that students thrive when they are 

known
valued
and encouraged
as individuals.

Our prayer has always been to create a place where children are excited to come each day, where learning is meaningful, and where families are true partners in the educational process.

 

It is a privilege and an incredible responsibility to steward Anchor Academy, and we remain grateful for the opportunity God has given us to serve our students, families, and community with excellence and faithfulness.
