WELCOME ACS is a Christ-centered (Rom. 1:6) school, providing whole-child (Luke 18:16) education, while partnering with both our families and our community (Mark 12:30).

We differentiate ourselves by encourag-ing student growth and accountability through unique hands-on opportunities and individualized curriculum, that ad-dresses the whole child’s learning style without compromising academic excel-lence or our loving family environment.

VISION The vision of Achiever Christian School is to continually grow toward our potential and become a Biblically functioning school so that Christ’s purposes can be accomplished in our students, their fami-lies, and our community.

MISSION ACS exists to equip and inspire future leaders to be a light in the world.

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.” 1 Peter 2:9

OVERVIEW The average teacher retention rate is more than 10 years and the average class size is between 15 to 18 students.

Achiever is proud to offer enhancements in the are-as of the Arts, Sports, Foreign Language and Tech-nology.

PRESCHOOL Our award-winning preschool has four classes rang-ing in age from 2 years 11 months old to 5 years old. Viewing windows in each classroom allow par-ents to observe without actually being in the class-room. Each classroom has two private bathrooms. There are multiple playgrounds, a large sports field, as well as two built-in swimming pools for special oc-casions.

Children are taught biblical principles, values, mor-als, learn a monthly bible verse, and engage in dai-ly prayer. They learn letters, phonic sounds, num-bers, writing, and many other concepts. Age-appropriate hands-on materials are available for the children to explore scientific principles.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Achiever elementary education encompasses kin-dergarten through fifth grades, and provides a dy-namic Bible-based, Christ-centered curriculum. Achiever’s well-rounded and structured education gives students a solid academic foundation while stressing Biblical principles. Our students’ education is expanded by the integration of music, art, com-puter concepts, and Spanish classes. Students are taught Biblical principles, values and morals through all subjects, memorizing Bible verses

throughout the year, engaging in daily prayer, and attending weekly chapels. We want our students to gain a firm understanding of all subjects at each class level within a Christian world-view. We desire our students to achieve high standards of academ-ic success.

MIDDLE SCHOOL The Achiever Middle School program is built on a Christian philosophy of education and the unique needs and characteristics of the young adolescent.

At Achiever we have instituted a 6th grade core teacher system. Like other Middle School students, your child will have classroom changes but the core classes will be taught by one teacher. We have found that this core teacher approach is a great way for our students to make the transition into Mid-dle School a little smoother. Their 6th grade year will feature gradual increases in student responsibility.

Our challenging curriculum actively engages the students requiring sustained interest and effort. We have an integrative approach that helps students connect school experiences to their daily lives out-side school.

ACS features a 1:1 iPad program for all Middle School students as an additional tool for learning.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. Mark 12:30

SPORTS PROGRAM Boys’: Football, Basketball, Soccer, Volleyball

Our goal is to foster a fellowship amongst our teams and to inspire students to live their faith on the field.

For inspiration we travel to watch other athletic teams including Valley Christian High School, King’s Academy, Bellarmine, SJSU, SCU, Stanford and West Valley.

Our Hawk Squad is made up of ACS students who come out to games, support the teams and pro-mote school spirit, and Hawk pride.

PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAM ACS students learn to “let their lights shine” on stage and develop basic theatre skills. We cover the fol-lowing areas: basic acting, improvisation, stage di-rection, character study, auditioning and perfor-mance preparation.

Yearly performances include the Middle School Mel-odrama, an Elementary & Middle School Musical and other outreach performances.
