            We are working diligently to make ACS not only a safe and healthy educational environment but also a powerful spiritual resource.  We are proud that Arlington is not just a private college-prep school, but is also an independent Christian school.  Our goal, of course, is to provide a quality education in a Christian environment.  Our mission is that your child will �grow as Jesus did in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man� (Luke 2:52).  Furthermore, we believe the saying is true, �It does not simply matter what you know, but also Who you know.�  We want your children not only to know the Word of God but also to know the God of the Word and His Son Jesus Christ.  Our success has been evidenced by the countless students who have chosen to love God and who have determined to live their lives in service to their fellow man.  Thank you so much for choosing this spiritual resource in the development of your child�s eternity.

The Bible faculty understands the gravity of our ministry.  You not only have entrusted us with your children but also with a partial responsibility to assist them in their pursuit of God.  Therefore, we pledge first to God, who gave us the 66 inspired and infallible books constituting the Old and New Testaments, that we will be faithful to His word.  We will not use man-made creeds or catechisms to indoctrinate your children; rather, the Bible will be the basis of our instruction.  Furthermore, to the students, we vow that we will teach the Word of God in context with objective integrity.  Our goal will not be to lure a child from his religious heritage, but rather to point him to scripture where his religious views can formulate and find their only solid basis.  Finally to you, as parents, we promise to supplement the spiritual training of your son or daughter rather than compete with or undermine it. 

Given the fact that ACS has more than a dozen different denominational groups represented, we recognize that there may be times when there is disagreement, but we will refrain from being disagreeable.  Furthermore, while each Bible teacher will organize his own instructional material around his personal investigation of Scripture, he will refrain from dogmatism and remain open to further Bible study on any given matter.  In the event that a disagreement arises, the teacher will make himself available to the student and his family for further discussion.  The teacher will moreover point the student to other resources for additional research on the subject under discussion (the student�s local youth minister, pastor or parents; additional books, helpful internet sites; etc.).

Again, thank you so much for your confidence in ACS and for your willingness to allow the Bible faculty to instruct your children.  We look forward to partnering with you in your child�s spiritual development.  We believe, as the Bible asserts (Ecclesiastes 4:12), �a cord of three strands is not quickly broken.�  Therefore, when your family, your church, and the faculty and staff at ACS partner together in the spiritual training of your child, a strong cord not easily broken will be available to your children.
