What are Charter Schools?
Charter schools are public schools of choice. They exercise increased autonomy in return for increased responsibility.
Who Funds a Charter School?
We are funded by local/state/federal funds, grants, and endowments. There are no enrollment/tuition fees.
Why should I choose Alaska Native Cultural Charter School (ANCCS)?
The school incorporates active engagement with today's Alaska Native community. The school offers students a curriculum focused on Alaska Native culture and a rigorous academic program that develops academic achievement.
Family members and elders are an important part of every aspect of the program.
