Enrichment and fine arts classes at Ancora will include 2 semesters of classes for a total of 30 weeks. They are a commitment for the school year and begin September 2nd, 2026 and end December 16th, 2026. The second semester begins January 20, 2027 and ends May 5, 2027.
Our classes are taught by very experienced and/or professionals in their field. We have hired our cello teacher from the Dallas Symphony for example, and a former Raytheon engineer is teaching engineering and SAT Prep classes. We are building a quality classical and fine arts program at Ancora, and the skills your children will develop from these classes will carry with them throughout their life! Our goal is to save you time and money from having to drive all over town for enrichment classes. Please read the class descriptions in Enrollsy. Some classes require a supply fee or instrument rental.
***Please note that a few classes are over 1 hour. If a student is not enrolled in a class for that hour, they will be able to do study hall. Each class is a la carte and you can select up to 5 classes.
Classes begin at 8:30 and end at 2:30.
** Private lessons in voice, cello and violin will be offered, please email sashcroft@ancoraacademy.org for pricing and schedule.
