You can tell the Ancona students—and Alumni

Ancona’s award-winning academic program and small-school intimacy result in alumni who achieve, who are creative and thoughtful, and who care passionately about issues that affect our communities.
We enthusiastically welcome our Alumni back with the intent of nurturing important relationships formed within our walls as well as building new connections. If you are an Ancona alum, we want to hear from you!

VOLUNTEER
Ancona could not exist without the time and talent our volunteers have shared through the years. Every volunteer makes us a stronger community. Volunteer opportunities include, but are not limited to the Alumni Gala Committee, Alumni Admissions Events and Alumni Event Ambassadors.
PAY IT FORWARD
Only an alum truly knows the transformation an Ancona education provides. Contribute to the very same program that impacted your academic life and beyond. Support Ancona’s remarkable program and teachers by making a donation to Ancona’s Annual Fund. The Annual Fund helps support enriching experiences that take our students out of the classroom and immerse them in Chicago and beyond. All of these experiences require additional resources and work hard to give students remarkable lessons in thinking for life.
