About
Our Mission
At the Academy of the New Church we prepare students for a principled and useful life in both the natural and spiritual worlds.
Two Schools in One
The unique collaboration between the Girls School and Boys School provides our students with the advantages of both a single gender and coeducational experience.
Admissions
Schedule a Visit
The best way to learn about ANC is to visit our campus, so all prospective families are encouraged to schedule a tour.
Small is Big
Check out our "Small is Big" video by clicking the link above. Our students discuss the advantages of a school community in which every individual counts.
Academics
Single Gender and Coed
Certain courses are more effective when girls or boys meet on their own, and certain ones when they meet together.
A Close-Knit Classroom
A small average class size means every student is engaged with their teacher and with each of their classmates.
Athletics
Support the Lions
Check the calendar for upcoming athletic contests and come support our athletes and coaches.
Everyone Can Play
All of our athletic teams are built on a no-cut policy that allows every athlete to participate regardless of prior experience.

Program Highlights

The Boys Lacrosse is extremely competitive in the Friends Schools League, winning the championship for the last six seasons (2014-2019), as well as in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2005. Last season seven ANC players were named to the FSL All-League team, three players were named to the All-State team and two players were named All-Americans.

The team is hard-working, dedicated and driven.
