In partnership with Christian families, Ann Arbor Christian School offers Christ-centered, academically excellent education that challenges students to live and act in society as committed followers of Jesus Christ. At Ann Arbor Christian School, we want to engage and challenge every student from Preschool to Grade 8 to aim high and to achieve more. Academic excellence refers to our desire to provide a holistic educational experience that highly promotes individual growth and emphasizes the entirety of a child as a unique and cherished creation of God. It refers to the drive and challenge of the school to foster the attainment of each student’s God-given potential through a high-quality curriculum taught by talented and dedicated teachers. Ann Arbor Christian School recognizes that everyone lives their lives based on a set of beliefs and values that governs their worldview and how they respond to the world. AACS promotes an education that examines all areas of learning through the lens of the historic Christian faith. We provide an environment where faith is nurtured and the intellect can excel, and the two profoundly and intelligently reinforce each other. A profound and vibrant sense of community is a striking and defining feature of AACS. For many students and their parents, AACS is a second church home where life-long friendships are formed and remain well beyond their years at AACS. We are a community in which we truly recognize the contribution of every member in the edification of our students, families, and school, and the care of members for each other is clear and palpable. When one of our families rejoices, we celebrate with them. When one of our families mourns, we grieve with them. We strive to labor, support, laugh, encourage, weep, and pray along side each other in our collective efforts to provide an outstanding education for our students and to encourage each other in our spiritual walk with God.
