Although receiving recognition for it, high academic achievement is one measure of success for our children, but it is far from the only one. Every student is different, and success looks different in every case. We take into account the entire person, helpingthem to develop a firm Christian worldview, and equipping them to help shape God’s world. All students are accepted, valued and encouraged at ACS, and as a result, they flourish. We call this Whole Person Development and we believe it prepares students for real life.
