American Christian Academy

American Christian Academy is a family-oriented school that seeks to glorify God by combining His truth with knowledge. Its mission is to provide a caring community that discovers the God-given gifts within each student, inspiring them to achieve their optimal potential while maintaining high moral and academic standards. The school emphasizes that every child is made in the image of God and is of inestimable worth.

The school offers a comprehensive K-12 programme, divided into Preschool (creche-kindergarten), Elementary (1st-5th grade), Middle School (6th-8th grade), and High School (9th-12th grade). The curriculum integrates U.S. and U.K. standards, with High School students choosing between the U.K. track (IGCSE, A Levels, or Foundation Program) and the U.S. track (AP courses and online university-accredited electives). The school also serves as a test center for the University of Cambridge and the U.S. College Board.

The school provides Individualized Educational Plans (IEPs) for students requiring academic support or intervention. For students who are not proficient in English, the school utilizes a Direct Approach Method, which focuses on speaking, listening, and reading through immersion and visual aids. Additionally, the Technology Integration Program (TIP) ensures a secure digital learning environment through web content filtering and device management.

The school maintains a non-discriminatory admissions policy and welcomes applications for students from creche through twelfth grade. The process involves submitting an application form and paying an application fee. Merit-based tuition waivers are available for students demonstrating exceptional performance in IGCSE or AP examinations, and an early payment discount is offered for annual tuition paid in full.

The school operates on a standard academic year, with recent communications highlighting activities and events occurring throughout the months of September through May. The school year typically concludes with graduation ceremonies and summer breaks.

The campus features a variety of facilities, including a Main School Block, a High School block, and an "international house" for residential staff. Academic and recreational amenities include well-equipped science labs, an auditorium, a gym, a cafeteria, a library, and a child’s indoor playground. Sports facilities include tennis and basketball courts, as well as a putting green. The campus also houses a dedicated Music and Fine Arts building.

ACA offers a wide range of extracurricular activities designed to develop students' God-given gifts. These include specialty clubs such as soccer, basketball, golf, swimming, ballet, piano, drums, guitar, and robotics. Students also participate in school-wide events like science fairs, art and music festivals, sports marathons, and stage productions.
