From Ancona School

Welcome to Ancona. We are a community. A school dedicated to social justice. A place committed to lifelong learning and empowered students. Our students are seen, respected, and supported. Our graduates are sought after for their problem-solving skills, their independence, and their genius. They are artists and activists. Educators and leaders.

The Ancona School sits as a buffer for our students and our families from the increasing disorder of the world. This is not to cloister ourselves, but rather to give us the strength and power of community as we advocate and work for structural change.

We are dedicated to educating the whole child, nurturing not only our students’ academic growth but also their social-emotional wellbeing, and their sense of purpose as citizens of their local and global communities.

Ancona graduates leave us as resilient, deep thinkers who are socially conscious, emotionally intelligent, and academically prepared for their next steps.
