Testimonials

“Working on a group project in my Rivers class at UCSB, I realized how grateful I am for my Anacapa education. We had to present about how sea level rise will affect the Ventura river as if presenting to City and County Planning Commissioners. Research, responsible use of sources, oral presentation skills, the knowledge of how city and county governments work, collaboration on group projects – these are all things I learned at Anacapa.”

“As one of Anacapa’s first students, I walked into school on the first day and was immediately led by a teacher on a bike ride to explore the local gardens. Afterwards, she assigned us to  write three paragraphs reflecting on what we’d experienced. I questioned her request. After all, she'd been there, too. I also didn't know what a paragraph was. Over the next four years, I went from being a kid who'd never been taught anything in school to graduating with a 4.0 GPA. I love my life, and I credit Anacapa with giving me the start I needed.”
