Two schools in one. Our careful combination of independent and collaborative learning tailors courses specifically for each gender. At the same time, we also provide opportunities for girls and boys to collaborate with one another in academic and in extracurriculars.

We provide a strong religious foundation. Our religion courses, our morning chapel program, and our campus-wide atmosphere of mutual respect gives every ANC student a strong moral foundation. This allows every graduate to go on to lead a purposeful and useful life.

Our Girls School helps girls gain confidence and competence.Β Our Girls School encourages girls to think creatively and independently, giving them the confidence to assert their opinions and refine their ideas.

Our Boys School allows boys to focus and to succeed.Β Our Boys School allows boys to focus on academics and structure their ideas, challenging them to succeed academically and to make wise life choices.

Our award-winning community service program encourages every student to think outside of themselves. Delta Mu, our student-led community service organization, organizes service activities throughout the year and an annual trip to the Poconos to volunteer at a Salvation Army camp.

Our unique senior project course challenges students to think creatively and work independently. Our year-long Senior Project course allows seniors to design and create independent projects under the guidance of a mentor. And in addition to a paper, a project, and a presentation, students incorporate a service aspect into every single project.

Our no-cut athletic program allows every ANC student to enjoy healthy competition. We offer fourteen competitive sports at ANC, with everything from lacrosse to ice hockey.
