A Season of Giving: Anacapa Students Mark 35th Anniversary With 35 Volunteer Activities
December 22, 2015
Students at Anacapa School are celebrating the 35th anniversary of Anacapa School by volunteering with at least 35 different community organizations in the Santa Barbara area this school year.
Founded in 1981, Anacapa is unique in the Santa Barbara area. Strategically small to ensure a student to teacher ratio that guarantees individualized attention and located in Santa Barbara’s urban center, Anacapa’s middle and high school students have an exceptional track record not only of community service but also of civic involvement through the school’s guest speaker programs that are designed to introduce students to professionals from a wide variety of fields, offering them practical and real-world insight and learning opportunities.
Of particular note is an annual event at Anacapa called the Synthesis Unit, which spans three jam-packed days and includes speakers and experts on a single topic. This year’s Synthesis Unit, coming up in late January 2016, will take an in depth look at human migration.
