Dear Students and Families,

Welcome to an exciting new school year! We trust your summer was enjoyable and rejuvenating.

Our team has worked diligently to ensure that these new spaces are fully equipped with the resources and experiences you have come to trust from AKChoice, creating an optimal environment for learning and growth.

As we start the year, please pay close attention to the parking maps for both locations. We want to ensure a smooth and safe arrival and departure for everyone. The maps will guide you to designated parking areas and help avoid any congestion.

In addition to our new locations, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned for this year. From engaging extracurriculars to special events, we’re committed to providing enriching experiences that will make this year truly memorable.

As you prepare for the school year, remember that our dedicated team is here to support you every step of the way. We are eager to foster a vibrant and nurturing learning environment where every student can thrive.

We look forward to an exceptional year filled with growth, learning, and fun. Thank you for choosing us to be part of your child’s educational journey. Let’s make this school year the best one yet!

Warm regards,

Lucas

Our new school in Eagle River is ready to welcome us! We are excited to begin growing our community and share our philosophy with new families! Our administrative team will rotate and be present at both our sites to ensure that all students and families feel safe and supported.

At our Alpenglow location we will have two elementary classrooms and a middle school classroom THREE TIMES a week! This is an amazing opportunity for families that want the flexibility of homeschool with the collaborative experience of students working together!

Alpenglow will also be where our business manager and AKChoice Virtual Registrar will call home base. If you have questions please call our direct line 907-742-4267 and Robynn will be able to support you.

ALL Families and Students should enter the building through our entrance on the southern side of Alpenglow.

The main entrance for AKChoice is located at the southern end of Alpenglow's campus. The designated student drop-off area is on Driftwood Bay Dr. This area features "on-street" parking, similar to what you might be accustomed to at Central. There are also designated parking spaces near the gate and near the school for those attending longer meetings.

To ensure a smooth drop-off, staff members will be stationed on the road to greet students and guide them up the hill to their teachers. You are welcome to park on the street and walk your child up to the designated drop-off point.

For pick-up, teachers will escort students down to Driftwood Bay Dr. and will wait with them until 2:10 PM. If you arrive after 2:10 PM, please contact the office at 907-742-1233 for assistance.

For school events, please use the main parking lot at Alpenglow and walk down the gated fire lane to reach AKChoice.

Ocean View will be our main office and space. The full curriculum library and academic records will be housed at Ocean View. Michelle Keller and Mr. Frost will both split time between Alpenglow and Oceanview ensuring that the needs of your family and student are met! Additionally, we will have a robust K-12 program where students have the opportunity to work together collaboratively with peers and teachers!

Ocean View supports three elementary classrooms and Science, ELA, Math, and Social Studies classes for middle and high school students. Our staff are experienced working in content specific areas as well as supporting diverse learners.

Our school community is beyond excited to offer these options to our Anchorage family, please reach out if you have any questions 907-717-4538 or 907-742-4267
