About ACS
History
In the fall of 1959, the doors of the Arlington Schools opened as a private independent school serving students in Southwest Atlanta. In 1968, Greater Atlanta Christian School was established by members of the churches of Christ in Atlanta to offer quality Christian education on the north side of Atlanta. From 1987 to 1994, GACS and Arlington combined their strengths to form Greater Atlanta Christian at Arlington. For the continued strengthening of the school's program came a need for greater local control and direction. As a result, in the summer of 1994, Arlington Christian School was formed as an independent operation continuing the challenge of "Quality Education in a Christian Environment."
Purpose & Philosophy
Continuing in its heritage, Arlington Christian School trains young people both in godly principles and in academic competencies. The goal of the school's administration, faculty, and staff is to guide each student toward maturity in five areas: physical, academic, social, emotional, and spiritual. We believe that an education that does not emphasize all of these areas is inherently incomplete.
The philosophy of Arlington Christian School demands that the administration, faculty, and staff approach each student with wisdom, patience, and consideration, viewing themselves involved in a spiritual ministry as well as in educational instruction.
