Christian School

The ACS culture operates on these core values:
HOPE.
We structure ACS with student experience in mind. School can and should be an oasis in this chaotic culture.
TRUTH.
We hold to the principle that truth is objective and should be earnestly sought and defended.
VIRTUE.
We hold moral character in the highest regard. We reward work ethic, initiative, discipline, and hustle.
PURPOSE.
We empower students to follow their unique gifts and promote a variety of successful paths after graduation.
Teenagers are hurting. They are the most depressed, anxious, lonely, and confused generation on record; adrift without an anchor. The pillars of Ambassador Christian address their deepest needs to support happier, healthier students.
Families are looking for alternatives to failing schools, overcrowded schools, wait-listed schools, and too few Christian schools. The voucher program is on the move, expected to launch in 2024, and will dramatically increase the demand for Christian education. ACS, with an eventual capacity of 1,000 students, stands ready to meet the need.
ACS is Different
Until now families had to choose between the faith-based education of small Christian schools and the extra-curriculars and amenities of large public schools. There is no longer a dilemma. ACS offers both.

An Arts Concentration for visual, digital, and performing arts

A large student body to support a range of social experiences
