Because the school’s founding headmaster, Gordon Sichi, and founding teacher, Suzie Sichi, continue to lead The Anacapa School, there has been a consistent and strong “delivery” of the school’s purpose and philosophy over the years.

Gordon has over 30 years of teaching experience in Santa Barbara.  In 1994, he was awarded the George Washington Honor Medal for Educational Achievement by the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge.  This national award recognized Gordon’s inspired and dedicated teaching, his promotion of informed and responsible citizenship, and his creation of the school’s Synthesis Unit program to develop critical thinking skills.

Suzie has taught at Anacapa since the school’s founding in 1981.  Her background and studies in art have been a big impetus to developing and sustaining Anacapa’s outstanding arts program.  Suzie has taught multiple subjects at Anacapa and has served as head of faculty for a number of years.
