A Private Christian High School That Finds and Encourages Purpose
Core Values
Building a Better High School Experience
Your teen is passionate about more than one thing. Their school should be, too. Ambassador Christian School provides a comprehensive, Christ-centered high school experience where students are known, challenged and prepared for college, career and calling.
At ACS, students with all kinds of interests and talents are challenged academically, enjoy top-tier sports and extracurricular offerings, and receive the emotional and spiritual support they need to have hope, experience joy, and explore their faith.
We partner with families to identify each studentโs gifts and purpose and support those talents with excellence.
College Prep Offerings: For college-bound students, including a rigorous curriculum with robust AP classes.
Hands-On Learning: Opportunities to take classes in our industrial kitchen for culinary arts or participate in a kit car build in the teaching garage.
Athletic Excellence: Athletes train with championship-winning coaches and benefit from professional-level training facilities.
Creative Opportunities: Artists thrive in our Visual Art classes and have access to an impressive 2,000-seat performing arts auditorium.
Weโre an open-enrollment school, which means while families need to be open to the teachings of Christ, they are not required to sign a statement of faith to attend. Every student takes a Bible course each year and benefits from a culture built on kindness, respect, and honor.
Doesnโt that sound like a better way to do things?

โAt Ambassador Christian School, we ask two fundamental questions: does it honor Christ and is it in the best interest of students? These serve as guides as we pursue excellence in Christian education. Our vision is to “launch ambassadors for Christ into all spheres of influence.” We invite you to learn more and determine if ACS could be the right fit for your family.โ

Homecoming Court: Serving & Preparing!
Our Homecoming Court had a meaningful day of serving, learning, and preparing for Homecoming!
Today, our court had the opportunity to serve at Brookstone School, putting our schoolโs values into action through kindness, humility, and a heart for others. We are so proud of the way our students represented Ambassador Christian School!
After serving, our court headed to Johnson C. Smith University for a practice walkthrough as we prepare for an exciting Homecoming celebration. ๐
We love seeing our students embrace what it means to lead by serving and we canโt wait to celebrate them during Homecoming!
โWhatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.โ Colossians 3:23 ๐ฆ๐

๐ BEYOND AMBASSADOR: BEHIND THE SCENES OF NASCAR!๐ฆ๐
Over the course of two incredible days, 40 Ambassador Christian School students had the opportunity to experience the world of NASCAR through our Beyond Ambassador program!
๐๏ธ DAY 1 JOE GIBBS RACING
Students stepped behind the scenes at Joe Gibbs Racing and learned what it takes to operate a NASCAR team in the middle of a racing season.
The experience included a full facility tour featuring:
๐ง Mechanical Shop
๐๏ธ Driver Simulator Lab
๐ฅ Film Room
๐ช Human Performance Lab
๐ Pit Crew Practice
Students also learned about the wide variety of career opportunities available within a NASCAR organization and discovered just how many people and skill sets work together to get a team ready for race day.
๐ DAY 2 CHARLOTTE MOTOR SPEEDWAY
Students continued the experience with a behind-the-scenes tour of Charlotte Motor Speedway.
They toured the complex, took a van ride around the race track, and explored areas including:
๐๏ธ Car Garage
๐๏ธ Media Room
๐ Race Track
๐ Drag Racing Complex
๐๏ธ Dirt Racing Complex
๐ฌ โIt was fun to be able to ride on the track and learn the history of the JGR team. I wasn`t aware of how much goes into getting prepared for races from Monday to Friday. It was pretty awesome to see.โ
โ Jason Thankachan
๐ฌ โI thought it was a fun experience to be able to see the day-to-day aspects of the business and how things work within a NASCAR team and also within a race track. It made me interested to go back to see a race!โ
โ Lucas Parks
Experiences like these give our students the opportunity to learn beyond the classroom, explore careers, ask questions, and see what it takes to turn a passion into a profession.

Ms. Swendsrudโs class was getting hands-on with human cells, learning about the different parts of a cell and the important jobs each one performs. Students were engaged, collaborating, and putting their knowledge into action as they explored the fascinating world of biology!

Surrounded by centuries of history and beautiful architecture, our students were able to step away from the competition and experience a unique part of Irish culture and history together as a team.
These are the moments that make a trip like this so specialโmemories, friendships, faith, and experiences that will last a lifetime. ๐๐ฎ๐ช
We are incredibly thankful for the opportunity to experience such a remarkable place and grateful for everyone who made this evening possible!

BEHOLD: Who We Are ๐
What a powerful way to begin the school year! Today, Ambassador Christian School gathered together for our first Chapel Service of the year. ๐
Our students were challenged through the first installment of our "BEHOLD: Who We Areโ series, hosted by Ben McDaniel.
Chapel is a special time for our ACS family to pause, worship, learn, and remind ourselves of who we are in Christ. Weโre excited to see how God will use this series to challenge and encourage our students throughout the year!
BEHOLD. Who We Are. Who He has called us to be.

๐ฉ DONUTS, FRIENDSHIP & A LITTLE BREAK! ๐ฆ๐
What better way to celebrate the first week of school than with a Donut Buffet?!
Our students enjoyed a special 15-minute break in the middle of the school day to head up to the atrium, grab a donut, relax, and spend some time hanging out with their friends.
Sometimes the best moments of the school year are the simple ones; good food, good friends, and time together!
We loved seeing our ACS students take a few minutes to laugh, connect, and celebrate making it through Week One!
Here`s to a great year ahead at Ambassador Christian School! Thank you to Grady McDaniel for making this video.
