About The Anthony School
The Anthony School, located in Little Rock, Arkansas, is the state’s oldest, non-sectarian, independent school. The school educates children ages three through 8th grade in a challenging and nurturing environment, engages them through an advanced curriculum, and empowers them to become independent and excited students. The Anthony School believes that individuality builds confidence, creativity, and innovation, and has a strong commitment to performing arts. Preschool and elementary students perform in their grade’s yearly musical production. Middle school students may participate in their fall production as a cast member, or they may choose to work in lighting/sound or set and costume design. Our performing arts department works closely with our other fine arts programs to ensure each student has the opportunity to enhance their core subjects.
