Accepting K4-12 Applications!
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 on August 17th.
As we continue to adjust to the new normal,
the learning experience at ACS will only get better!
Dear Arlington Families,
In the words of Dr. Anthony Fauci, American physician, immunologist, and White House Coronavirus Task Force member, “Reopening schools is not a one size fits all for each school.” We have embarked on a new school year at Arlington Christian School girded with wisdom and guidance from the Holy Spirit. Under the authority of God and the expertise of government and health officials, we successfully began the 2020-2021 school year on August 17, 2020. We have adopted as this year's theme, "The Triple A Effect: Actualizing the new-normal, Accelerating scholars' educational experience, Advancing the kingdom," and we are excited to be doing just that. We know that this year will be exceptional in the most positive of ways.
As always, thank you for your support and prayers. We are in this TOGETHER! Please download and read our COVID-19 School Implementation plan here. For COVID-19 emotional support click here. Please check back often for updates.
In Christ,
Kelvin L. Griffin, Ph. D., Principal
