Does Anchor Christian Academy offer Hot Lunch?
Most of the time students pack a lunch, but hot lunch is typically available on Thursdays. The options alternate between pizza and Chick-fil-A sandwiches. Sides are also available for purchase. 
Do the majority of students come from one church?
Anchor's community is a unique mix of a large variety of evangelical Christian churches within Lancaster County. In the 2019-2020 school year, our 59 students represented 29 different churches. We are governed by an independent school board which is not affiliated with a specific church or denomination.
What kind of schools do Anchor students come from? 
Students come from a variety of backgrounds including public schools, Christian schools, and homeschools with generally an even split from the three types of educational models. Students from each type of educational background will simply face a different learning curve as they learn skills to succeed in the university model. For instance, homeschool students will learn to be accountable to multiple teachers on a more regular basis than they may be used to. Students from a traditional 5-day model will develop independent learning and time-management skills. 
I am homeschooling my 6th grader. what curriculum do you recommend?
Good question! It is beneficial to plan ahead. We have developed a list of recommended homeschool 6th grade resources which will equip your student to thrive when they enroll in 7th grade at Anchor Christian Academy. 
What is the cost of tuition?
The cost of tuition for the 2021-2022 school year will be published in February. Until then, refer to our 2020-2021 tuition rates for an estimate.
