ACA has submitted their application to become part of The Minnesota Association of Christian Schools (MACS) and have been advised to apply for it after the school has some years under its belt. ACA will be required to meet state academic standards and requirements until accreditation is obtained. “Minnesota defines a nonpublic school as any school, church or religious organization, or home school where a student can fulfill compulsory education requirements.” per the Minnesota Department of Education website. This means students of ACA will be assessed annually using a standardized achievement test.

Our regular, full-time teachers are licensed and have several years’ experience in the classroom. Qualifications of short-call subs are less stringent and may vary depending on who is available when a substitute is needed.
