We are proud to celebrate Luciana Paguaga, 5th Grade student, on being a member of Nicaragua’s National Chess Delegation competing at the 46th World Chess Olympiad in Uzbekistan, taking place from September 15–27, 2026.

We congratulate Luciana! Let’s cheer her on every step of the way!
ANS proudly celebrated our Fiestas Patrias, bringing our community together to honor Nicaragua’s independence, culture, traditions, and national pride.
Students across our school participated in special patriotic celebrations featuring traditional dances, poetry, music, and meaningful tributes to our national symbols. From folkloric performances like “Managua, Linda Managua” and “Nicaragua Mía” to performances by our Wind and String Ensembles, our Tigers proudly showcased the beauty of Nicaraguan culture and heritage.
It was a meaningful celebration filled with tradition, community, and pride.

Big ideas start here.
At the Capstone Pitch Fair, our seniors took an important first step in one of the most meaningful experiences of their final year at ANS: presenting the ideas they will develop into their Capstone Projects throughout the year.
Through their pitches, students shared their interests, identified challenges they want to explore, and began shaping projects that will require creativity, research, problem-solving, and purpose.
From an idea today to an impact tomorrow—the Class of 2027 is beginning its Capstone journey. 💙🐯

Go Tigers! 🐯💙
An unforgettable day on the court at ANS!

Moments like these remind our students that passion, dedication, and opportunity can open the way to their Path to Greatness. 💙🐯
