About Anser

Located in Garden City, Idaho, Anser Charter School offers an inspiring and challenging educational environment for elementary and junior high children. Through our unique curriculum, learning approaches and commitment to the community, Anser students are:

  • More engaged in school
  • Eager and motivated to learn
  • Able to flourish academically and personally

Through academic achievement, character growth and confidence, Anser students can embark on life adventures with a greater sense of who they are and what they want out of life.

Anser’s unique approach to learning has three primary focuses.

Our EL Education model provides a real-world learning experience, challenging students to think creatively and take an active role in the classroom and beyond.

Anser fosters a collaborative and cooperative learning environment by connecting teachers, family and the community for the benefit of all.

Anser students discover a deeper sense of who they are by giving back, mentoring fellow students and helping others – at home and in the community.
