ANCS Students
We are proud to serve The Woodlands and surrounding areas of North Houston, a culturally diverse area with high demand for excellent quality private school education. At ANCS, our students and their families hail from almost 20 different countries from around the world! Our families speak nine different languages and dialects at home. Some of our families speak Spanish at home, and in our Spanish immersion program, those students receive advanced instruction according to their individual level.
​
Following our school philosophy of generating cultural awareness in our students, we incorporate our families' traditions throughout the year by celebrating international holidays of importance; and we also discuss, inquire about, and research aspects of different cultures in contexts such as Social Studies, Language Arts, and Spanish.

Electives, Enrichment, and Extracurricular Activities
Electives
Drones and Aviation
Students in Middle and High School have the opportunity to learn FAA Drones/Aviation and become certified as Commercial Drone Pilots over time in ANCS's Drone and Aviation Education Program, offered in partnership with AHA! Drone Education.
​
During Middle School years, students are offered a semester-long Drone elective class, in which they learn safety, legal regulations, and both indoor and outdoor flying skills. Students who qualify may participate in local/regional drone flying competitions.
​
In High School, students who choose Drone Education participate in a two-year program, during which they become familiarized with legal regulations, flying skills, entrepreneurship, and more. Students who complete the program and meet all qualifications will become certified Commercial Drone Pilots, who may then go on to create their own small business operating a commercial drone for drone photography; for example, for real estate agencies or other local business.
​
Competitive and Club Robotics
Starting in 2nd grade, students may try out in the fall for our award-winning Competitive Robotics Teams. Those who do not make the competitive teams in the fall have the opportunity to participate in Club Robotics in the spring. Competitive teams attend local and regional VEX IQ Robotics competitions. In both 2021 (virtual) and 2022 (in person), ANCS sent teams to the VEX IQ World Championship! Read about our Robotics program under the guidance of Mr. Michalik in The Chron.com's coverage.
We are so thankful for the sponsors that make our Robotics Program possible. If you would like to give to the school to make the continuation of these and other programs possible, click here to learn more.
