Envision the Potential of a Christ-Filled Education

"I would claim that Christian schooling is not about running or hiding from--rather it is about embracing and pursuing the mind of Christ. It is about pursuing the real understanding of what it means to be salt and light, about transformation by the renewing of the mind. It is about the development of fruitful bearers of the image of Christ in a world gone bland with its salt-less-ness; a world staggering in an abundance of darkness where the light has been all but snuffed out.”
Ken Smitherman, President of ACSI

The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) strives to enable and equip Christian educators and schools worldwide to effectively educate children and young people with the mind of Christ. Thus, students will be prepared for life because Christ, the creator and sustainer of the universe, possesses “all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:3). The life and mind of Christ is nurtured in the lives of students through redemptive relationships with faculty who recognize that reconciling the heart and mind to God is the foundation of their work.

To this end ACSI seeks to equip schools for greater effectiveness, year after year. The many programs and services we offer are intended to enrich the teaching of Truth—God’s Word revealed through Scripture as well as through creation. We seek to increase the vision for students’ intellectual development through Christian faculty who model a rigorous Christian mind in their teaching and leading. We believe that schools can increasingly achieve their vibrant mission as their operational practices grow in excellence.

The people of ACSI, in our Colorado Springs headquarters and the eighteen regional offices around the world, are eager to assist educators and schools in guiding their students to reach their full potential in Christ. We desire to provide the tools necessary to rekindle vision, energize practices, and equip educators to achieve this goal.

Upper Room Christian School is an active member of the ACSI.

Grace and Peace,

New School Year

We are excited about the upcoming school year. While the administration has been working all summer preparing for the new school year our full staff comes back Tuesday the 2nd for three days of inspiration and preparation for our students who return on Friday the 5th.

We have some exciting changes taking place this year. We are launching Grade Speed, an online communication program between our school and the home. Our students and parents will be able to see their progress 24/7 from any computer connected to the Internet and communicate back and forth over a secure intranet hosted by Campusware.

Together with Faith Highway we are launching the schools web page which will be a state of the art way to get information about the school including calendars, forms, and other useful information.

We believe that a good education requires good communication and we are continually striving to enable the best communication between the school and our community.

We are looking forward to another great year of Christian Education here on Long Island as we seek to fulfill God's mandate to train up a child in the way they should go!

Grace and Peace,

Ed
