#2 SCHOOL IN NATION U.S. Academic Decathlon 1 ST PLACE ORANGE OC SCIENCE & ENGINEERING FAIR Chemistry + Biology IB WORLD SCHOOL PYP + MYP Programmes After meeting rigorous academic standards, the Historic Anaheim Campus earned the prestigious accreditation as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School for the Primary Years Programme, adding to its existing designation for the IB Middle Years Programme. All Historic Anaheim faculty have been certified as IB Educators and campus administrators, Mrs. Lugo and Mr. Norenberg, were both named to the IB Educator Network — a remarkable accomplishment considering only 25 people were selected from a pool of over 500 global applicants. Meanwhile, HAC students, undeterred by COVID restrictions, continued to perform at exceptional levels in many different academic competitions -- most notably, the Academic Pentathlon. Our pentathletes' reputation for excellence extended all the way to the national stage this year, as evidenced by their remarkable performance at the USAD National Finals. The 8th grade team earned 2nd Place Overall Team honors and took 1st in the Super Quiz competition, while four team members were named among the top five overall students in the country. In the 7th grade group, three Panther pentathletes captured the nation's top titles (tie for 1st overall and 2nd place). Distance learning has been challenging for all of us but my daughter's teacher has been so supportive. Her lesson plans are very thoughtful and it is obvious that she carefully considers each student's learning level when creating her daily grids. She is always available and ready to help when my daughter gets stuck on a lesson and she is able to quickly build the confidence she needs to persevere through a new or challenging lesson.
