Welcome to Anacortes Catholic Schoolhouse!

Anacortes Catholic Schoolhouse was established in Fall 2020 in Anacortes, WA, with twelve families. Today we serve twenty-nine families from seven different parishes, with 82 students in Pre-Grammar, Grammar, Dialectic, and Rhetoric classes, plus many more in nursery. We are happy to give back to the community that has generously hosted us, by serving soup suppers, assisting with yard maintenance, volunteering at family events, conducting food drives, and more.

Our chapter meets on Tuesday mornings at 8:40 AM. Our day begins with morning prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by class rotations.

Pre-grammar and Grammar students will learn and review memory work, enjoy hands-on art and science, snack, student presentations, and chorus. Babies are welcome to stay with their mothers, while toddlers will have fun in the nursery.

Our Dialectic and Rhetoric students will experience similar topics at their level through literature, history, Catholic culture, writing, Socratic discussions, and famous speech recitation.  Our upper level fine arts program offers quarterly seminars integrating art, music history, and culture in addition to hands-on projects in the style of famous artists of the time period. Dialectic students participate in a hands-on science lab every other week, while Rhetoric students rotate US government, economics, and logic for high school credit.

We close our class day at 12:00 PM with the Angelus.  All families are encouraged to share lunch and fellowship together before going home.
