Private Schools

great place for inbehaving kids it really teaches them.

My daughter entered this school a little over three years ago at the age of 4. She was struggling in a special needs classroom with Anchorage school district after a year and a half and didn't seem to be learning anything. Her world was a mess. Her dad and I had just started the process of divorce. We didn't have any family nearby. Her teacher was AMAZING. She worked my daughter through so much and was very connected to what was going on in her life. My daughter went from learning nothing in a classroom geared for kids with special needs to being in a neuro-typical classroom and functioning beautifully. The children were encouraged to be kind and compassionate towards her, thanks to a lot of work from her teacher and the assistant in the classroom. This school is a close knit community. You don't get a robot voice and have to choose your extension when you call. A employee (who is also a student's mother) picks up the phone and helps you through what you need. The teachers have challenged my daughter, setting the expectations high, while encouraging her to reach for the stars even though she's a bit behind the curve. When there are social problems, the teachers are on top of it and help the kids work things out between themselves and appreciate the differences in each other. I have had several professionals in my daughter's life recommend this school to other parents because of the difference it has made for my daughter. I can't say enough about what a difference AMS made in our lives!

Great teachers, great staff

In 6th grade when I was at my public school, there were so many kids and so much chaos and drama and I just couldn't bare it anymore so when I went to visit Aurora, I was AMAZED of how everybody got along together and nobody cared about what other people thought about them. All the kids were surprisingly polite and opened doors for me. The goal of the school is to be inclusive and you have the same teacher from 1st grade to 8th so you know everybody like your own family. I love how we learn about history, Physics, Geography, Chemistry and much more! In history and geography, the teacher tells it like a story and it is quite lovely! I love how the campus is spred out like the collage campus. The people were amazing artists! I was so astounded when we painted and there was so much colour! At first when we did art, I was horrible at it and when time flew by to 8th grade I improved alot! I enjoy this school and I am very glad that I came here! Lou Mei Gutsch 8th Grade 2013

PHENOMENAL christian school where the faculty and staff truly love the students and uphold a christian environment! Our teenage daughter LOVES it there as well. The curriculum is academically challenging and preparing her well for college. Our daughter also plays sports at ACS and we're very pleased with the instruction, encouragement, support, and team atmosphere that is cultivated by the coaches and Athletic Department. Yes, we are SO very pleased with our decision to enroll our daughter at ACS!! Public school is NO place for young christians. ACS furthers the christians values and truths that we teach at home and is helping to grow our daughter in her continued walk with Christ. Thank you, ACS!!

This is our second year at Lumen Christ and we are extremely happy with the choice we made for our daughter. The above-average test scores and 100% graduation rate are a direct result of the high-quality teaching and the caliber of the staff, who take an effective, creative approach to teaching, while emphasizing the Catholic faith. The extracurricular activities are an added bonus (our daughter has participated in soccer, band, and student government) and the small class sizes with active participation create a vibrant learning experience. The affordable tuition is also one of the lowest in Anchorage and a steal for the quality of education the students receive. I would encourage anyone to contact the school and take a tour - you will not be disappointed!

I went there, it was amazing

It's amazing

My children attend this school, and we are so pleased with the experience. The academics are strong, and the setting is supportive and very family-focused. My kids are challenged to think and grow, but in a way that encourages them to achieve their full potential. Students are supportive of each other, and teachers work closely with parents to ensure each child is set up for success. I would recommend the school for parents looking for an excellent elementary education that prepares their kids for middle school and beyond.

Great school. Great teachers.

Wonderful church
