Ancona is a special community from teachers to administration to parents and all in between. Over the past two years we have seen our son thrive academically and grow in character. We switched into Ancona for first grade and it's one of the best decisions we have made.

The kids are great and have welcomed her right into the group and when things come up I know they will be attended to with care and compassion.

The teachers and support staff are excellent. The campus is beautiful and conveniently located. However, the administration (particularly the school lead) is failing the community. There is a clear communication breakdown on campus. No one greets the students in the morning and they enter into a bla...

It can be easy to love your school in the best of times, when resources are plentiful, schedules are predictable, and systems are operating from positions of comfort and strength. But what I have come to appreciate throughout this extraordinarily difficult year is how important it is to choose a sch...
