Core Values
We believe students can be self-directed learners, and schools can be both fun and challenging. Value gives meaning to what we do. But at Anne Frank, our core values of compassion, commitment, collaboration, innovation, and integrity are the driving force behind every decision we make.
- At Anne Frank, we are active members of our community—we belong.
- We are becoming experts in every life arena—we can be great.
- And we know there is purpose in life; therefore, we choose to find joy.
Belong
Having a school where children feel like they genuinely belong empowers them to learn and thrive. We understand that children learn best when they actively engage with big ideas, rich materials, and a supportive social community. Our small school environment allows us to create learning environments optimized for each child. At AFIA, we guide our students to solve problems through reasoning and prepare them to meet any academic or social challenge.
Be Great
All students master the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), along with a wealth of extracurricular activities, including an experiential curriculum highlighting concepts and events all children should be able to experience regardless of social class or income. The AFIA experience opens a young child’s eyes to big concepts like sustainability, civic engagement, entrepreneurship, good health, and well-being. Each child will increase their capacity for greatness by building social, emotional, and cognitive skills essential for success in school and life.
Our Facilities
Bandera Rd
We intentionally designed our campus grounds to create a small, family-like environment to ensure every student and teacher gets to know one another—because no one should ever “fall through the cracks.” In partnership with award-winning, international architects at Fielding Nair, we created incredible facilities with outdoor learning areas (including a treehouse designed by Pete Nelson of Treehouse Masters); a variety of creative, indoor learning studios (like yoga studios); and zero hallways! Additionally, we have equipped our schools with seamless, state-of-the-art technology—an absolute must in the modern world.
NW Military
Located within the Barshop Jewish Community Center, our newest campus features top-notch educators in small class sizes, so each child has plenty of elbow room to learn, create, and explore. Our safe and secure facilities include a huge indoor gym, climbing wall, green learning spaces, garden, and an amazing playground. Whether running experiments in a science lab, computing in a classroom or collaborating with others under big blue skies, our school ecosystem ensures every child feels like they BELONG, FIND JOY in learning, and are provided opportunities to BE GREAT.
