Alamance Christian School Granted Full Accreditation

Alamance Christian School (ACS) has been approved for renewal of accreditation by the North Carolina Christian School Association (NCCSA) effective July 1, 2012.

NCCSA accreditation provides a benchmark for Christian schools which measures standards, performance, integrity, and quality. Schools engage in a voluntary process of self-evaluation against accepted best practices and educational standards. This evaluative process involved the visit of an accreditation team of Christian education professionals who scrutinized the following areas: philosophy and administration, personnel, curriculum and pedagogy, assessment, fiscal management, facility and safety, and special services. The accreditation process is designed to assist schools in achieving a standard of excellence and provides the framework for the on-going School Improvement Program (SIP) of the school.

The NCCSA accreditation program has been formally recognized by the North Carolina Division of Non-Public Education and is also approved by the National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA) through a co-accreditation agreement with the North American Christian School Accrediting Agency (NACSAA). As part of the onsite team visit, a representative of the NACSAA participated in the peer review and report writing process. As a member of the National Council for Private School Accreditation, NACSAA partners with the Middle States Association Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS) to provide co-accreditation to NCCSA and NACSAA member schools desiring to pursue regional accreditation.

Alamance Christian School is located on a beautiful campus at 1336 Townbranch Road, Graham, NC 27253. ACS currently enrolls students in grades K2-12. ACS is committed to Christ-centered education with academic excellence in a nurturing environment.
