American Christian School

The American Christian School is committed to a distinctively Christian approach to education.
Its purpose is to present sound instruction and discipline in conformity with the Bible, the Word of God.
The authority of God's Word is to permeate all teaching and be the basis for instruction and the development of both righteous actions and attitudes.
The American Christian School's educational philosophy seeks to recognize God's revelation through His Word and His creation.
We offer a classical and Christ-centered Education. American Christian School faculty members are carefully selected on the basis of Christian testimony and dedication as well as educational background and experience.
The ACS teaching staff possesses Christian character, gifts and attitudes essential to the spiritual, intellectual, and physical development of the student.

ACS is an excellent school. My kids have been here since preschool and are now in high school. When given the choice to go elsewhere for high school, they chose to stay at ACS without hesitation. It is like a family or a second home. They never want to miss school or be late and they love staying after.

ACS has been a tremendous blessing to our family. It truly is a place where you are welcomed & included in your child's education. They have an excellent teaching staff & classical curriculum & have recently acquired a full HS to 12th grade. They offer many extra curricular activities like Archery, Track, Basketball, Fencing & Golf. Above all things & most importantly everything is Christ-centered & you just know the Lord's hand is on this place. I couldn't ask for a better environment for my children!

American Christian School has been such a blessing to our family. My child is not just another number at ACS. She is part of a family that is fully invested in, not only her academics, but her emotional and social well being as well. It is my prayer that more families would consider ACS for their children.
