Anthem Preparatory School provides a PreK-12 education that is both classical and American in its orientation: one that is rooted in the liberal arts and sciences, offers a firm grounding in civic virtue, and cultivates moral character. We are dedicated to empowering students with great, historically accurate knowledge and giving those students and their families the freedom to draw their own conclusions.
