Campus Life
For the Love of Exploration
We often say that Love sparks a hidden curriculum at Ancillae.
It’s a curriculum that is focused on becoming a whole person. That whole person must find ways to spread their wings, find their voice, explore their world and express themselves. Both students and families are encouraged to engage in the opportunities that take place at Ancillae.
Athletics

Co-Curriculars

Fine Arts

Partnering With Parents
Parents' Association
All parents are members of this group, which plays a vital role in the health of our school.
By giving service, hosting events, and raising funds, parent volunteers strengthen Ancillae by building community, supporting school operations, and caring for one another. Whether setting up for an event, assisting in the Student Dining Room at lunch or volunteering in the classroom, the presence of our parents and grandparents has a big impact.
Girls on the Run
GOTR is a widely popular offering in our Co-Curricular program that relies on the dedication of our volunteer parent coaches.
One of the first schools in the area to join, girls at Ancillae have been on the move since 2009! Each season, girls have fun, make friends, increase their physical activity levels and learn important life skills. These 3rd through 5th grade girls participate in interactive lessons and movement activities leading to a celebratory 5K event at the end of the season.

Ancillae-Assumpta Academy
Built on Love
All around campus, students learn in spaces that permeate the values of the Handmaids and inspire them to grow in faith. Kindness, compassion, and respect for the world around them is modeled and practiced from a young age.
"This is a wonderful school. My daughter's experience here has been above what we could have imagined for her. Not only is the education superior, the emphasis on respect of person, environment and community is just amazing. Students are constantly encouraged to be innovative and insightful thinkers. Using a Christ-like mind set, kids learn respect for all humankind, animal kind, and nature. They are listened to and heard by their teachers and staff. The sense of camaraderie is palpable in the numerous family events and in the way our daughter talks about her daily experiences. I highly recommend Ancillae Assumpta Academy for anyone of any denomination."Ancillae Parent
