The faculty and staff have chosen Romans 15:5-6 for this year's theme verse which states, "May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Mission Statement for Ankeny Christian Academy:

"The vision of Ankeny Christian Academy is that our high school graduates will attain an excellent Christ centered education that will lead them to live both morally and ethically and will successfully prepare their families according to the standards of Christ as they assume their adult roles in society and carry out the principles of the Great Commission."

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.   Proverbs 22:6
The mandate for Christian education comes from God directing His people to teach their children diligently the laws of the Lord.  (Deuteronomy 6:7)  The Christian school acts as an extension of the family and of the church to help families bring up their children in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord" as God has directed in Ephesians 6:4. 

Each ACA student must come from a home where at least one parent or guardian is a
professing born-again Christian.

Ankeny Christian Academy is a Preschool through 12th grade independent non-denominational Christian school accredited by the Iowa Department of Education.  ACA provides a college-preparatory education integrated with a Christian view of God and the world.  Each state certified teacher is a carefully selected Christian who loves the Lord and considers teaching a ministry, not merely a job.
