Three
early childhood educators committed to establishing a quality Early
Childhood Development Center in Taos County founded Anansi Day
School in 1993. The school opened with an enrollment of 45 children
with grades Preschool – First Grade. Due to community
demand, the school expanded to second grade in 1997.
The Board of Directors of Anansi Day School voted to pursue the
option of closing its doors as a private institution to become
a public charter school at its annual meeting in August, 2000,
and opened its doors as a free and public charter school in August,
2001. While keeping all of the unique aspects of Anansi Day School
intact, Anansi Charter School offers teaching excellence as a publicly
funded, non-discriminatory, lottery-fed school. The Charter includes
Kindergarten through Second Grade, and the pre-school remains Anansi
Day School with a non-profit status.
Anansi Charter School Does Not Discriminate on the Basis of Race, Creed, Color, Gender, National Origin or Physcal Handicap.
