Ames Christian School

The community is invited to visit Ames Christian School on Thursday, March 5th during our "Community Open House" from 9 am - 2 pm and in the evening from 5:00-7:30pm for a Chinese buffet and our "Classroom Showcase” event.

On March 5th from 9am- 2pm interested parents are invited to tour the school and observe our Preschool, Early Kindergarten, Kindergarten, First, Second, Third/Fourth, Fifth/Sixth and Music classrooms in action during a typical school day.  The Administrator and staff will be available to meet you and answer any questions you may have about ACS.

The event will begin with a Chinese buffet from 888 Restaurant starting at 5:00pm for Preschool families and 5:45pm for Elementary families. The "Classroom Showcases" will begin at 5:30pm and end at 7:30pm. Every fifteen minutes a classroom will present a showcase in which the teacher and students interact with the school community in a creative, academic way.  Families will receive a schedule detailing the times each showcase occurs in order to experience and participate in all the classrooms.  In addition Administrator, Peggy Smith, teachers, and ACS board members will be available to talk to you about the curriculum, core values, financial aid, and any other questions you may have.  Anyone in the Ames and surrounding communities, who is interested in ACS, are encouraged to tour the school, participate in the meal, and experience the classrooms.

Ames Christian is a member of the Association of Christian School International (ACSI) and in the process of obtaining ACSI accreditation. ACS provides academic excellence through personalized Christian education from a Biblical Worldview perspective through gifted, mentoring teachers, in a safe, disciplined learning environment to the children and families of Ames and the surrounding communities. Our student body represents many church denominations. 

ACS offers a half day and full day Preschool program for three and four year old children.  We also offer a five day afternoon Early Kindergarten program for four or five year olds. Our Early Childhood is licensed by the state with a four star QRS (Quality Rating System) rating.  The nurturing staff strives to meet the needs of the whole child. 

Our outstanding Elementary school serves students from Kindergarten to sixth grade.  We provide academic excellence in a safe, disciplined learning environment. We encourage students to become lifelong learners and strive to equip them to think, learn, discern, and act according to Biblical truth in order to embrace and fulfill God's unique purpose for their lives. Teachers model and infuse Biblical truth throughout the curriculum and activities at school. Students also participate in music, art, technology, chapel, and physical education classes. Parents have the option to enroll students in our afterschool Spanish integration program once a week. Parents are an integral part of our school's success.

 "I am excited for the community to come tour, observe, and participate at ACS. It’s a great opportunity to observe our dedicated teachers educate, model, and mentor their students from a Biblical perspective. Last year this event was a night to remember,” said Mrs. Smith.

Please save this date, March 5, on your calendars. We look forward to meeting new families as well as spending time with our current families.
