Achiever Christian Middle School (ACMS) endeavors to develop a Christian worldview in students through a biblically integrated approach to academic instruction and extra-curricular activities. The journey we expect our students to take will increase their knowledge, build their academic skills and develop godly character as they discover who they are in Christ, what they like, what they do well and what they want to strive for. Our goal is to create a Christ-centered environment that will not only nourish their appetite for learning, but will also help them feel confident in taking the kinds of risks that lead to the achievement of their God-given potential.
ACMS recently moved into a new, 11-classroom building that includes a library, state-of-the-art computer room and science lab. It offers students a multi-media lab, drop-in lab, campus wide network, computers in every classroom and high-speed DSL internet access on every computer.
