Tour of Kindergarten's Endangered Animal Museum | Pacific Northern Academy | Anchorage, Alaska
Kindergarten students at PNA give a tour of the art museum they created to raise awareness for endangered animals and teach others how they can help take care of our earth and everything on it.
Pacific Northern Academy (PNA) is a private, independent school located in Anchorage, Alaska. Founded in 1995, it holds the unique position of being the only non-sectarian, independent day school in Alaska affiliated with the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) and the Northwest Association of Independent Schools (NWAIS). Situated in a new facility in south Anchorage, the school serves students from all over the Anchorage bowl, from Girdwood to Eagle River.
Pacific Northern Academy was recently ranked as the 10th best private elementary school in the United States. [1]
The school has also been named as GreatSchool's Parent's Choice for private schools in Alaska.[2]
Classes
Pacific Northern Academy serves 102 students — from 3 year-olds in the Beginners program to eighth grade.[3] PNA has small class sizes — a maximum of 18 students per grade.
The academic program at Pacific Northern Academy includes an emphasis on specialist programs, with all students taking Spanish, visual arts, performing arts, and physical education. The school utilizes Project-based learning in all grades, emphasizing critical thinking and problem-solving as well as community service. The school uses the Responsive Classroom approach to social and emotional learning, focusing on inclusion, individuality, non-punitive correction, kindness, and community-building.
The school has one classroom each for Beginners (3 year olds), Early Kindergarten (4 year olds), and Kindergarten up through 8th Grade. The school plans to add a third preschool classroom in 2018.
Pacific Northern Academy is the home of Create Academy, a STEM and Project-based learning-focused summer camp for students Kindergarten through 8th grade, centered around the school's Makerspace — a dedicated area for building, tinkering, and creating physical and digital products including stop-motion animation, green screen videos, sewing, woodworking, and robotics. [4]
Mission Statement: We educate students to be exceptional learners and independent thinkers of vision, courage, and integrity.

Alaska Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Alaska.
Alaska is a country situated on the edge of the Arctic and dream destination for wildlife and nature lovers who answer to the call of the wild. A land of bears, glaciers, pioneers and prospectors on the northern tip of the American continent. In Vancouver, Canada’s pearl of the Pacific Ocean, begins an extraordinary journey along the Alexander Archipelago in the Gulf Of Alaska, a charming capital with European flair. In English Bay a giant metal crab guards the planetarium and by aquabus our journey travels across False Creek to Science World with its marvellous glass globe that contains a museum of modern art. Ketchikan is a small town located five hundred and twenty six nautical miles north of Vancouver and was founded by the Tlingit Indians. In the 1880’s the town based its economy on salmon and timber but today relies upon tourism. Since 1900, Juneau has been the capital city of Alaska, the forty ninth state of the U.S.A. In 1880, Joe Juneau, Richard Harris and their Tlingit Indian leader, Chief Kowee, discovered gold in Gold Creek and the gold rush began. Glacier Bay was completely covered by ice and glaciers around four thousand years ago during the Little Ice Age. The ice melted and the ever-changing glaciers are today situated within the arms of the bay which stretches almost a hundred kilometres to the north. Barrow is the northernmost point of inhabited North America and five hundred kilometres north of the Arctic Circle. The living conditions in the arctic wastelands are extremely harsh and most of the year it is bone-chillingly cold. Even today the promise of untamed nature and boundless freedom attracts us to America’s final wilderness. Alaska is full of wild extremes and stark contrasts, a fascinating land of pure adventure!

Our Four Favorite Alaska Sights | Atlas Obscura
Generations of artisans, builders, and scientists alike have found inspiration in Alaska’s rugged landscape. Here are four of Alaska's most unusual sights from across its wild, open spaces: Goose Creek Tower, a whimsical 185-foot-tall, stacked cabin that serves as one engineer and lawyer’s “poem to the sky”; Aunt Claudia’s Dolls, a doll museum featuring one of the world’s most diverse collections of indigenous dolls; Igloo City, an abandoned concrete hotel made to look like an igloo; and a frozen permafrost tunnel, where fossils of all kinds and frozen plant and animal remains abound.
