About Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School

Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School (ANCS) is a K-8 public charter school located in southeast Atlanta, GA. The mission of ANCS is to use the common principles of the Coalition of Essential Schools to build an empowered and inclusive community of students, parents, and educators, challenge each student to take an active role as an informed citizen in a global society, engage the whole child—intellectually, social-emotionally, and physically, help all students to know themselves and to be known well by their community, and collaborate with the larger community to advocate for student-centered schools. ANCS was named Georgia "Charter School of the Year" in 2015.
