The key for me is that this school is different. On purpose! We choose this school because we want something MORE! It is Kingdom minded, Holy Spirit led, future thinking, and strives for excellence. It's unique structure of learning and partnering parents, teachers, and students together draws out strengths like time management, complex thinking skills, relational development, and spiritual and academic excellence. I love that it pushes and challenges us to be more and do more and GROW! My daughters have walked through the sudden death of their grandmother, and sudden illness of two other family members and subsequent hardships and behavioral outbursts as a result of their grief and pain at ACA and were met with love and true discipleship from the teachers and staff and other families. I cannot tell you how many families came alongside us and worked through behaviors that at other schools would have been labeled as "bullying" and here at ACA they facilitated conversations and growth. They saw to the root of the issue and helped heal it thus ending the behavioral outbursts and bad behavior. My daughter was acting out due to pain and feeling overwhelmed, not because she is bad. This behavior has ended and she is friends with the students who she used to act out towards. My daughters feel safe and loved and well structured here. I cannot say enough good things, I could go on and on. Is it perfect no, but is anywhere? These teachers truly love the students from a place of Christs love for the church. My daughters have all grown due to the teachers out of the box style of investing in them both character and academically my kids are rising to levels that blow me away!
