These numbers represent more than accomplishments. They represent students choosing to pursue what inspires them, and grow into who they are meant to become. At ANS, every Tiger chooses their own path to greatness.
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. 💙🐯
We are proud to celebrate our athlete students, Sophie Ponçon, 10th Grader, and Vanessa Navarrete, 9th Grader, members of Swimming Tigers Academy, who have qualified to represent Nicaragua at the 2026 CODICADER Central American Student Sports Games.

Their dedication, discipline, and hard work have earned them this incredible opportunity to compete at the regional level. We are incredibly proud to see our Tigers representing ANS and Nicaragua on the international stage!
Go Tigers! 🐯💙
An unforgettable day on the court at ANS!
ANS proudly welcomed the USA Women’s Volleyball Team to campus, giving our student-athletes the exceptional opportunity to connect with world-class players and experience elite volleyball right here at ANS.
The visit featured a meet & greet, conversations with the players, and a drill down with our student athletes, creating a space where students could experience elite-level volleyball up close.
Moments like these remind our students that passion, dedication, and opportunity can open the way to their Path to Greatness. 💙🐯
We are incredibly proud to celebrate ANS senior Mariapaula Gómez, who will represent Nicaragua at the U23 Pan American Volleyball Cup as part of the National Team for two consecutive years! 🏐

More than a tradition, a moment they will carry with them.
During the Senior Banner Unveiling, the Class of 2027 celebrated the beginning of their final year at ANS as they revealed the banner that will represent their class throughout this final chapter, a symbol of their identity, unity, and the legacy they are beginning to leave behind.
But the heart of the moment came through the words written especially for them. Each senior received a surprise letter from their parents, filled with pride, encouragement, memories, and love.
A meaningful beginning to a year they will never forget.💜✨
