Academics
At ACS our teaching philosophy reflects the desire to teach students HOW to think rather than what to think.
Ambassador Christian School was founded in 2022 and will host its first students in August of 2024. ACS is an independent, co-educational, college-preparatory school serving grades 9-12, in Huntersville, NC.
The pillars of the school are Hope, Truth, Virtue, and Purpose which together form the support structure for healthy, grounded students in a culture of shifting sand. Our goal is to create a memorable, student-centered experience while setting a high bar for academic, artistic, and athletic excellence. Embedded into everything we do, is the opportunity for students to authentically explore and deepen their faith.
