To begin with, at least one parent of every student is a follower of Jesus Christ and is an active member of a Bible based church. We are a Christian community. Five days per week, eight hours per day, your child is learning within this community. There is no better place to encourage spiritual growth while learning important academics. In addition to this, we've learned some specifics about our families through interviews and two all family surveys.
VALUES: When asked about the values that most influence their families, the most common responses from our families were faith, integrity, doing your best, kindness, service to others, and respect.
HOPES AND DREAMS: Most of our families also share some similar hopes and dreams for their sons and daughters. The most common of these is that their children discover their unique God-given gifts and talents, that they use those to find their purpose and passions, and do their part to make the world a better place. This is a broad but widely shared vision for the students at Annapolis Area Christian School.
EXPECTATIONS FOR SCHOOL: Every child is unique and parents are looking at diverse aspects of a school to find the right fit. However there are some important expectations our families had for a private school when they chose Annapolis Area Christian School. An all parent survey revealed some of the most common expectations of families who chose AACS. These are:
- Excellent faculty who care about and engage students and who model a Christ-centered life
- Biblical values must be woven into all classrooms, sports fields, and activities
- An excellent academic program
- A school environment that models and encourages responsibility and doing your best
- A school where each child's unique gifts and talents will be valued and nurtured
- A community where lasting and meaningful relationships are formed
