Welcome to Arlington Christian School!
"Helping children grow, as Jesus did, in wisdom and stature, in favor with God and man." Est. 1959.
We did it! We successfully reopened our campus
for the 2020-2021 school year on August 17th.
As we continue to adjust to the new normal,
the learning experience at ACS will only get better!
PRINCIPAL WELCOME LETTER
Dear Parents:
Welcome to the Arlington Christian School website.
It is a tremendous honor to serve the Arlington
Christian School community as Principal. As a perpetual
student advocate, I look forward to a continued
partnership of providing our scholars with a rigorous,
relevant, and high-quality educational experience. As the
parent of five beautiful children, I recognize the importance
of a strong home-school connection. Parents are every scholar’s first teacher and I believe that by working together, we can make sure your scholar’s social, emotional, and academic needs are met.
We must share the belief that all scholars will and must learn at high levels of achievement. Our vision is to create an environment in our classrooms that morphs in this high level of learning. With your support, scholars can master a rigorous curriculum – and it will be our expectation that they do. In order to effectively teach scholars, we must work collaboratively with teachers, scholars and parents to achieve this shared educational purpose.
At Arlington, we believe that great schools are the results of great teachers, so our primary objective is to ensure that every scholar is receiving high-quality instruction from every teacher. We will strive to develop a body of scholars that reflect good character; scholars who make good choices and decisions resulting in successful and healthy outcomes. We will encourage scholars to demonstrate the best of themselves every moment of every day and to make positive contributions to the community and organizations to which they belong.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve your families in this role! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas you would like to share.
Sincerely,
Kelvin L. Griffin, Ph. D., Principal
