Founded in 1944, ANS creates a community of learners where innovation drives dynamic learning experiences. Curiosity is the driver of learning at ANS, where students develop passions that allow them to maximize their leadership potential and make meaningful change with a global impact in society.
The Quetzacóatl Chapter of the National Honor Society at ANS proudly welcomed 20 new members, bringing our total to 55 outstanding students recognized for their academics, leadership, service, and character.
This year’s induction ceremony was highlighted by our special guest speaker, Mr. Roberto Rondon, ANS parent and distinguished alumnus of both ANS and NHS.
At ANS, NHS members embody integrity and purpose, serving as role models, contributing to school initiatives, and leading service projects that positively impact our community.
Congratulations to our newest inductees!
Our Tigers roar with courage far beyond the classroom! Through our carefully designed After School Program, ANS students have the opportunity to explore passions, refine skills, and uncover new strengths.
From sports and arts to academic enrichment, every activity becomes a step along their path to excellence. Because the choices they make to grow today shape the leaders they will become tomorrow! 🌟📚🏀🎨

Global readiness it’s cultivated through experiences that challenge and inspire. The Harvard HMC Workshop allowed our students to engage directly with world‑class perspectives, sharpening their ability to lead, collaborate, and think critically.
These sessions went beyond academics equipping our students with the confidence to negotiate, the clarity to present, and the resilience to make decisions in complex settings.
By opening doors to prestigious universities, ANS continues preparing students not just for college, but for the global stage where their voices and leadership will make a difference.
At ANS, academic excellence starts from the beginning! In the Early Education Center, our Pathways Program (ages 3–4) offers a remarkable 7:1 student–teacher ratio, giving every child the attention they need to thrive. Nurturing curiosity as the main driver of all learning, rooted in Creative Curriculum and inspired by Harvard’s Project Zero, Pathways sparks creativity, problem‑solving, and critical thinking through small‑group learning and full English immersion through playbase methodology.
Big news! Luciana Paguaga, 4th grade student from ANS, just made history 🙌. She was crowned undefeated champion in Puerto Rico and earned the international title of Woman Candidate Master (WCM) from FIDE! 🎉🏆
Luciana represented Nicaragua brilliantly at the XX Central American & Caribbean Youth Chess Festival 2025, playing 9 rounds under the Swiss System and finishing with an outstanding 7.5/9 points, securing first place in her category and completing the championship without a single defeat.
We couldn’t be prouder of Luciana!♟️✨
🎉✨ Happy New Year! ✨🎉
A new year means new goals! Get ready for a semester packed with activities, experiences, and opportunities. Let’s make those resolutions count!
