Discover Annapolis Area Christian School

 

For over five decades, Annapolis Area Christian School has been dedicated to educating the whole child—mind, body, and spirit—within a distinctively Christian framework. As a leader in K-12 private education, we pride ourselves on delivering an academically rigorous program tailored to meet the diverse learning needs of all our students.

 

 

At AACS, we aim to cultivate sustainable academic success for every student. Our comprehensive curriculum includes a challenging college prep program designed to push students to their highest potential. Recognizing that each student has unique learning needs, we also provide robust educational support to ensure everyone can thrive. 

 

AACS faculty have a minimum of a bachelor's degree in education--with a focus in their field--or a related field and demonstrated energy and enthusiasm for teaching students of varying abilities in the grade they teach.  Our teachers have or are actively working to acquire a teaching endorsement or certificate (e.g., ACSI certificate) in their field. 

 

 

A broad array of extracurricular opportunities complements our commitment to academic rigor. Students can immerse themselves in competitive athletics and a dynamic fine arts program, allowing them to explore and develop their individual interests fully.

 

 

One of the most distinctive features of Annapolis Area Christian School is our vibrant, faith-based community. Faith is not only taught but lived daily in every classroom, on every performance stage, athletic field, and through all activities. This integration of faith and learning creates a unique environment where lifelong relationships are formed, and students see Christian values modeled consistently.

 

Our Christ-centered community is highly valued by our families, who appreciate the supportive and nurturing environment we provide. Under the leadership of our Head of School, Chad Dirkse, AACS continues to advance in its mission to educate from a biblical perspective. We invite you to watch his introductory videos to gain insight into his vision for our school.
