Global readiness itβs cultivated through experiences that challenge and inspire. The Harvard HMC Workshop allowed our students to engage directly with worldβclass perspectives, sharpening their ability to lead, collaborate, and think critically.
These sessions went beyond academics equipping our students with the confidence to negotiate, the clarity to present, and the resilience to make decisions in complex settings.
By opening doors to prestigious universities, ANS continues preparing students not just for college, but for the global stage where their voices and leadership will make a difference.
At ANS, academic excellence starts from the beginning! In the Early Education Center, our Pathways Program (ages 3β4) offers a remarkable 7:1 studentβteacher ratio, giving every child the attention they need to thrive. Nurturing curiosity as the main driver of all learning, rooted in Creative Curriculum and inspired by Harvardβs Project Zero, Pathways sparks creativity, problemβsolving, and critical thinking through smallβgroup learning and full English immersion through playbase methodology.
Big news! Luciana Paguaga, 4th grade student from ANS, just made history π. She was crowned undefeated champion in Puerto Rico and earned the international title of Woman Candidate Master (WCM) from FIDE! ππ
Luciana represented Nicaragua brilliantly at the XX Central American & Caribbean Youth Chess Festival 2025, playing 9 rounds under the Swiss System and finishing with an outstanding 7.5/9 points, securing first place in her category and completing the championship without a single defeat.
We couldnβt be prouder of Luciana!βοΈβ¨
