Charter Day Weekend is October 10-13, 2024!

Below you will find the schedule for Charter Day Weekend 2024. There are a few changes from past years, namely that the event formerly known as “Drinks in the District” or "Mix and Mingle" is now Friday night (more information below) and individual class reunion events are Saturday night. All reunion information has been sent to former class presidents and some other local helpers. Reach out to class members for that information. Please note, all reunion fees will be collected directly through your class reunion planning committees.

About Charter Day:

Charter Day is our homecoming weekend, held each year in October to celebrate the signing of the Charter for the Academy of the New Church in 1877. Every year, traditional festivities include ANC Secondary Schools reunion events, ANC Varsity Football game, Charter Day Banquet, and a golf outing fundraiser for our Student Scholarship Fund. The weekend begins with a visually-striking procession in which our students march from the Benade Hall to a worship service and address in Bryn Athyn Cathedral, led by the American flag and the remarkable class banners.
