The Anchor Program

The Anchor Program at Gloucester High School

The Anchor Program provides a small group learning environment within Gloucester High School for students with specific social, emotional, and behavioral learning needs.

What does Anchor stand for?

Awareness:  self awareness, knowing oneself, knowing our strengths and weaknesses, triggers, and knowing our best self.

Needs-based: everyone’s needs are different and they are all being addressed, understanding what students need and developing curriculum based on those needs, differentiating, giving students the opportunity to be our best self.

Community:  safe place to share our ideas, questions, and fears, a place where I can grow and learn, family, connections.

Honesty: academic honesty, integrity, honest to myself and others, not lying or cheating

Overcoming: obstacles, realizing there will be setbacks and it won’t be easy but persevering, whatever stands in our way we will work to overcome it, developing skills to overcome issues that have been a problem in the past.  

Respect:  respecting teachers, other students, supplies, everyone’s space, myself, and my process.
