Anchor Lutheran School has been partnering with parents for over thirty years in meeting the Christian daycare, preschool, and K-8 educational needs of children from throughout the Anchorage community. Our school earned accreditation through the Northwest Accreditation Commission in 1987 (previously the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges), and achieved additional accreditation through National Lutheran Schools Accreditation in 1999, serving as hallmarks of our program quality and a commitment to ongoing improvement and growth. Anchor is one of approximately 2,500 schools affiliated with the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (including early childhood centers, elementary schools, high schools, and universities providing both undergraduate and graduate degrees), a school system that dates back to the 1840‘s and is the largest Christian Protestant school system in our nation.
