About the School
- Appalachian Christian School desires to partner with parents and churches to provide a quality Christian education and to embrace a Christian worldview.
- Our school will be committed to a Christian worldview; have a deep foundation based on the perfect truth of the Holy Bible; and help churches and parents understand and value Christian education.
- Because of its small size, ACS is able to maintain high academic and social standards for the students.
- As part of our social standards, we regularly help teach students a respect for parental and non-parental authority.
- We also help foster in the student a love for family, respect for others, and integrity in relationships, including relationships within the church.
- Academically, we consistently see that students who apply themselves maintain an overall accelerated level of achievement.
- This is evidenced by achievement test scores and students' level of academic performance once they leave ACS and enter the public school system in high school.
