School Reviews
5 4/6/2019
ACA is a great school. I am committed to Christian education, and ACA is that, and more. We have been part of the ACA community for seven years, and love how it really is a caring community. The class sizes max out at 16, so teachers know my children. My kids learn a lot, and the regular recitations prove that. One of my favorites, is hearing Kindergarden recite all the presidents. I recommend ACA to parents interested in a rigorous Christian education for their children, and those who love a tight-knit community of parents.
