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.
We meet once a week. On class days, Pre-grammar and Grammar students 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 have fun in the nursery.
Our Dialectic and Rhetoric students 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 days with community prayer and fellowship.
