Why Apogee?
Traditional schooling, designed in 1893, stands in stark contrast to Apogee Anson’s innovative approach.
Born from a mentorship program, our micro school is part of a groundbreaking network, inspiring over 100 micro schools nationwide. At the heart of our model are Expeditions—immersive, hands-on learning journeys that challenge children to explore real-world problems, collaborate, and dive deep into topics they’re passionate about. These Expeditions, combined with intentional design, spark a lifelong love of learning, empowering trailblazers to uncover their unique gifts, flourish, and thrive.
Why Choose Apogee?
Our program is project based, led by our trailblazers (our word for students), and guided by top notch coaches to facilitate the learning environment. Moral values such as Honor, Loyalty, Integrity, Compassion, Honesty, Politeness, & Bravery, are considered a top priority and is the standard in which we will grow and live. A strong emphasis will be placed on being active through outdoor play, physical fitness and real-world application of the skills learned here at Apogee.

Key differences between Apogee Anson and other school models
At Apogee Anson, our trailblazers engage in hands-on, real-life experiences through project and play-based learning, sparking creativity and deeper understanding.
We enrich the learning experience with coaches who use insightful questions and hands-on activities. Through the Socratic method, we encourage critical thinking and communication skills, fostering a caring, supportive community.
Our blended-learning approach combines cutting-edge technology with a self-paced environment, helping kids excel in essential subjects while promoting responsibility, goal-setting, and teamwork.
Founded on Christian principles, we inspire learners with virtues like honesty, integrity, and compassion, guided by Psalm 139:14, Galatians 6:9, and Proverbs 22:6. We encourage them to seek Him first - in that, they will discover what lights them up inside and will gain skills to be prepared to make a positive impact on the world as they grow and develop.
The Apogee Anson model is centered around our trailblazers- igniting young minds to take charge of their education and relationships. Our learners are empowered to think boldly, take responsibility, and tackle challenges with enthusiasm.
We nurture curiosity, grit, and resilience in our learners, celebrating failures as opportunities for growth and higher learning, fostering a growth mindset through trial and error.
