Annapolis Lower School Principal, Elizabeth Williams

My name is Elizabeth Williams, and I am the Lower School principal at AACS. My husband and I have three sons, two of whom are recent graduates from Annapolis Area Christian School, and one a current student. 

As principal of the Annapolis Lower School I know that academics are important, but education is about so much more. Young children need to feel safe, loved, and nurtured. They need joy in their classrooms.  They need teachers who take the time to get to know them, including their God-given strengths, talents, and interests.  AACS offers all of this along with a rich Christ-centered curriculum.  We focus on reading and math skills, sciences, social studies, the arts, and more.  Students explore, create, and problem-solve as they learn about the world around them.

I realize the families that come here are just beginning the educational journey with their children. Our faculty and staff work together to provide a warm and nurturing environment for children that encourages meaningful connections between faith and learning. We are not just preparing children for college or even for the next grade, but for a life characterized by a wholeness that comes from seeking God in all things.

Please visit our Kindergarten page to learn about how a Christian environment sparks enthusiasm in learning.

We would love to meet you! Please schedule a visit and explore our beautiful facility.  

Elementary school is a time of exploration, wonder, and growth. At AACS we surround our students in a dynamic Christ-entered community. Our children are encouraged to grow academically, socially, and emotionally, learning to build relationships with their teachers and fellow students. In lessons, chapel, activities, and recess, we front-load our students with strong Christian values and a love of the Lord that will prepare them as they grow into middle and high schoolers.
