Atlantic Christian School was a big winner in the Best of the Press 2020 awards, placing in three categories — for Best Child Daycare Center, Best Summer Camp, and Best Place to Work. The Press of Atlantic City’s 2020 Readers Choice Awards were announced on Friday, October 30 in a special pull-out section of the newspaper.

The ACS Early Education Center received a Silver medal for “Best Child Daycare Center,” the ACS Summer Cougar Camp received a Silver Medal for “Best Summer Camp,” and our school received a Bronze Medal in the category of “Best Place to Work.”

Thank you to our ACS school family and the many friends in our community who voted online in the contest in September. This is the 6th year that our Early Education Center and Cougar Camp have received “Best of the Press” recognition and the first year for our school to place in the “Best Place to Work” category.

This past summer, children from grades 1 to 6 enjoyed a 7-week Cougar Camp program held in compliance with COVID-19 health and safety protocols  that included movies days, water days, STEM activities, sports, music, and much more. We’re very proud of our Cougar Camp staff, led by faculty member Eric Tardif, and of our Early Education teachers and aides, led by Early Ed Director and Elementary Principal Gail Alford, for their dedication and love for each of the students who were part of these programs.
