DRESS CODE                                                                                                                                

ACS students dress modestly, neatly and conservatively.  There is no school uniform, but students are
asked to dress to honor God, as His representatives.  

CURRICULUM                                                                                                                               

From Kindergarten through 12th Grade, the ABEKA curriculum (developed by Pensacola Christian College) and the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum (A.C.E.) are used.  These curricula place a strong
emphasis on phonics, reading comprehension, English and mathematics. They are excellent academic programs enhanced by the Christian philosophy we believe to be essential for our students. Students online instruction is interspersed with seat work in textbooks and workbooks.  Frequent quizzes and tests are taken in each subject. A Teacher or Assistant is on hand to answer questions and assist students with testing, or any other needs. At Adirondack Christian School we teach that Christ is our living guide for life, and that the Bible is our written guide for life.  Therefore, emphasis is placed on having a personal,
daily relationship with Christ, and on becoming very familiar with the Bible.

PROGRAM                                                                                                                                      

The typical morning begins punctually at 8:45 with “The Opening” - a cheerful welcome, the reciting of our pledges, singing the song for the week, and other engaging activities. Following the opening, students move to their classrooms or learning centers and begin the day’s schoolwork.  Some participate in a virtual classroom via laptop and headphones, participating in the activities of the class they are watching just as though they were physically present in the classroom. Others read texts and work in accompanying workbooks.  Group classes are interspersed throughout the week’s schedule. Working at their own speed, some students are able to complete all of each day’s “classes” and homework by the end of the school day.  Other students may have some homework to do. Time is set aside each afternoon for students to participate in fun and exciting extracurricular activities. The school calendar includes Field Trips and other exciting activities, rounding out the students’ education. Attendance at ACS is an enjoyable, beneficial, and life-changing experience.
