As Anacapa School approaches its admittance cap for the 2013-2014 school year, the independent school has announced a full schedule of open house events for applicants for the fall 2014 semester.

“We have a great group of new and returning students this year,” said Anacapa founding headmaster Gordon Sichi. “With the addition of seven international students this year, we have a more diverse student body than ever.”
