I am pleased to welcome you to the 2019-2020 school year! This marks our 49th year in Christian education in southern New Jersey and we praise God that we are making history this year with the highest number of students ever enrolled at the start of the school year — 497 students!
Our faculty and staff are excited about the new year and are focused on creating a loving, caring environment for every student and training each one in the truth of God’s Word.
We thank God to be welcoming back close to 90% of our students from last year and to be building new relationships with 113 new students. We had our largest-ever New Family Orientation Dinner on August 29 — a great time of fellowship as we welcomed everyone to the ACS family. We also continue to welcome students from other countries — 14 high school students who hail from Belgium, China, South Korea, and Taiwan.
Please pray with us that every student at ACS will come to know God, put their trust in Him, and choose to follow Him all the days of their lives.
Over the summer, our Cougar Camp and Early Education Center both received special recognition in the 2019 Best of the Press Reader’s Choice Awards. Cougar Camp received a “Best of the Press” Silver Award and the Early Education received a “Best Top Five” in the Child Daycare Center category. Thank you to everyone who voted to help ACS achieve this important recognition.
As the school year gets underway, I encourage every school family to get involved in ACS. There are many ways to serve and share your unique talents and abilities. Some of the many volunteer opportunities include serving on the Parent Teacher Fellowship Board, being a Room Parent, selling concessions at athletic games, helping with set-up and service during lunch, and assisting with school fundraisers. The ACS family is stronger when all of us come together to make ACS a beacon of light in our community.
