| The importance of the High School years cannot be exaggerated. It
is a time for building relationships, gaining knowledge and
understanding, growing spiritually, becoming independent, and
preparing for college. Arlington is a co-educational,
Christ-centered, college preparatory day school. At Arlington
Christian School, the emphasis is upon providing a healthy and
well-balanced environment-one in which all students can form
worthwhile and meaningful life-long goals.

High School is more than just a time of
textbooks and studying. Friendships, activities, working with
teachers who care about you, and feeling good about yourself are
part of "growing up" at Arlington Christian School. |
Important for post-high school pursuits is the fact that Arlington
is accredited by both state and regional accrediting commissions. It
is accredited "with quality" by the Georgia Accrediting Commission,
and it is accredited by the respected Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools (SACS). This stamp of approval guarantees that
credits earned at ACS will be accepted without question by colleges,
universities, and other high schools.
Christian School
Permeating life at Arlington is a commitment to be a Christian
school. Bible classes are a regular part of our academics, just like
English, Math, and Foreign Languages. These Bible classes are
designed to represent the Bible as God's message for today for
standards and values and to equip students with the tools needed for
lifelong personal study. Also, a focal point of each day is the
chapel/assembly time.
Academics
The daily schedule at ACS is built around a seven-period academic
day, plus lunch and chapel. Arlington requires that all students earn
a minimum of 25 Carnegie Units for graduation. Students may earn
either the college preparatory diploma or the general studies
diploma. Although emphasis in academics is placed upon the
fundamentals (Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social
Studies), a variety of courses are offered, including Drama, Band,
Psychology, and Foreign Languages (French, Latin, and Spanish).
Frequent field trips broaden understanding of subject matter, as does
the optional bi-annual European studies program.
Faculty
Standing behind the academic quality is a High School faculty with
an average of 11.8 years of teaching experience. Sixty-two percent
have earned a Master's degree.
Student Body
Arlington Christian has a diverse make-up of students from South
Fulton, Douglas, Coweta, Fayette, Cobb, and Clayton counties.
College Preparatory
The academic structure of the High School program at ACS is to
prepare students for the rigors of college. About 90 percent of
Arlington students continue their education on the college level.
