Middle School Mystery Adventures
Our students had an amazing time exploring the Winchester Mystery House last night! After enjoying a delicious hotel breakfast this morning, they headed to The Tech Interactive Museum, where they dove into hands-on science and forensics activities. It was the perfect mix of fun and learning! |

High School Highlights High school students have been taking a deep dive into the history of the Renaissance, including a fun, “Where’s Waldo?”-style activity where they searched for Raphael’s self-portrait hidden in his famous painting, “The School of Athens”. In World Literature class, students have been exploring ancient Greek theatre and have begun reading the first play of Sophocles’ Theban Trilogy, Oedipus the King. Stay tuned for more updates as our students continue to explore history, literature, and the arts with curiosity and creativity! |

We truly value your partnership in helping us make Anacapa School the best it can be for our students and families. To better understand your needs, we are inviting you to complete a short survey.
This survey will give us important insights into:
* What drew your family to choose our school
* What types of after-school programs and activities your child would be most interested in
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey here: Family Interest Survey
The survey should take no more than 5–7 minutes.
Your feedback will help us strengthen our community and create after-school opportunities that support both student growth and family needs.
Thank you for your time and valuable input!
