ACS—Home of the Lions!
By Lauren Banks, Director of Admissions
A
ugusta Christian Schools is “Home of the
Lions” for so many blessed families in the
CSRA! School life at ACS is Christ centered,
exciting, progressive, loving and family
oriented! School choice can be confusing to many
parents, but the benefits of Augusta Christian Schools
makes the selection clear! Not only does Augusta
Christian provide a strong spiritual atmosphere for all
those enrolled, the challenging academic programs as
well as the multifaceted extracurricular offerings give all
students a chance to succeed and prosper in their God
given gifts.
ACS offers students twelve challenging Advanced
Placement and Honors courses, the Cyber Patriot Team,
two Health Science Pathways, Junior ROTC, Apple Mac
Air laptops for 6 th -12 th grade students, Robotics, Chess
Club, many opportunities for community service, and a
fine arts program that is second to none! ACS also has an
effective Learning Support Program for students who
may have gaps in learning. The smaller classroom
environment, coupled with specialized instructional
attention, helps students succeed academically. Augusta
Christian provides the perfect avenue for every student to
find their niche in the school program.
In addition, ACS offers a full athletic program for
those students and families who enjoy physical
competitions. SCISA, South Carolina Independent
Schools Association, is the organization of which we are
a member school. Our students are eligible to participate
in athletic competitions beginning in Middle School. The
sports program includes multi level teams for the
following athletics: swimming, football, cheerleading,
cross country, tennis, basketball, wrestling, soccer,
volleyball, softball, baseball, track and many more! All
students are encouraged to participate in an
extracurricular program to get the full benefits of being an
ACS scholar athlete.
Augusta Christian Schools' Admission Office
is busy interviewing, testing and touring new families
every day. Our enrollment to date has surpassed
our projections as God has led an abundance of new
students and their families to ACS! Division principals,
Mrs. Liz Lowery, Mrs. Courtney Hayes, Mr. Keith
Walton, and Mr. Wayne Marchant are excited about all of
our new and returning students who will arrive on
campus in the fall. We are busy upgrading, painting,
planting and sprucing up for their arrival!
During the Admissions process, we partner with
each family to determine the correct academic selections
for their child. ACS has the perfect class offerings for
all students at many different academic levels. An
entrance test and a compilation of all school records, help
to determine the perfect placement for all students who
apply. In addition, the ACS International Student
Program continues to be a blessing to so many children
who otherwise would not hear the Word of God in their
home countries. Our Christian educators minister to
all of our students to build Kingdom Leaders for Christ.
Financial assistance can be a temporary help for
many families. The Goal Scholarship Program continues
to offer Georgia public school students an opportunity to
receive financial assistance based on each family’s need.
This Georgia tax redirection initiative helps make the
privilege of attending Augusta Christian Schools a reality
for many families. We thank each family who has
graciously supported this program over the years.
Without your cooperation and generous spirit, ACS could
not provide aide to worthy families.
Thank you to all who have given so sacrificially
to the mission at Augusta Christian Schools. Jesus said in
Luke 6:38, “Give and it will be given to you. A good
measure, pressed down, shaken together and running
over, will be poured into your lap. For with what
measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Your
continued prayers and support of Augusta Christian
Schools are vital to the success of our school program.
