We will partner with The Association of Christian Teachers and School (ACTS). It is a non-profit organization that strives to set new standards of Christ-centered academic excellence while assisting Christian schools to realize the highest level of educational credibility. They are passionately committed to a Biblical Worldview that is consistent with God's Word, building partnerships with Christian schools, and serving current and prospective members with resources, consulting, advice, and mentoring.
