ANISA
The term "ANISA" has two meanings. It is an ancient word meaning "the tree of life" and "symbolically represents never-ending growth and fruition in the context of protection and shelter, and signifies the blending of the useable and fruitful past with a new sense of future ["The Anisa Model:  A New Basis for Educational Planning," D.C. Jordan and D.T. Streets, Young Children, 1973, June, p.290].  It is also an acronym that stands for American National Institutes for Social Advancement, a non-profit organization the aim of which was to promote the ANISA Model of Education.
