Welcome
Dear Friends,

Welcome to the website for Ann Arbor Christian School. This site is designed to give you information about our K-8 Christian school community.

When you enter our school you’ll notice a few things besides the Wi-Fi access, clean halls, decorated classrooms, beautiful wall hangings, top-notch library, and wonderful gym. Our certified teachers, in partnership with the parents of the school, teach the hearts as well as the minds of the children in their care. Our staff members are dedicated Christians who share the love of Christ with the students throughout their school experience. Each day of school students are fully engaged in the learning process. They are excited to learn what God has done and is doing in all academic areas.

Our students represent 35 area Christian churches and come from diverse ethnic backgrounds. Ann Arbor Christian School offers a Christ-centered academically excellent education that transcends denominational lines and challenges students to live and act in society as committed followers of Jesus Christ.

We are a Christian school that values community. Children have multi-grade-level chapel families who they praise and worship with on a regular basis.  Students from all grades exercise with and include children from other grades in their play at recess time. But there is more -- the training to be like Christ is evident from gathering time in the morning, through regular classes, recess, lunch, Art, Music, Physical Education, Spanish, during outreach activities and service projects, and as the children leave for the day.    

To learn more about AACS, we encourage you to call the school at (734) 741-4948 to schedule a visit. AACS is located in Ann Arbor, just off US-23 south of the North Territorial Road exit at 5500 Whitmore Lake Road. We would enjoy getting to know you and sharing more of what God is doing at Ann Arbor Christian School.

In Christ,
 
Thom Ritzema, principal

What our families say about AACS
 
I always tell my mom, "Hurry up, I want to be first to school today!" because my school is not boring at all.
