Dear Prospective Parent (Guardian),

At Ankeny Christian Academy, we are excited about partnering with you in the education of your children, the next generation of Christ-followers in America.  Since 1993, ACA has been working to meet the need for excellent Christ-centered education in Ankeny and the surrounding areas.  The school is built on the philosophy that you as parents are responsible before God to educate your children.  It is a monumental task that works best when home, school and church labor together with a common goal in view. 

Author George Barna, who wrote "Transforming Children into Spiritual Champions",  research has revealed an alarming truth that a child's moral development is SET by the age of 9!  We must work together to teach very young children to think and act like Jesus.  He also said that statistically 9 of 10 young people consider themselves Christians by age 13. Further assessing reveals that only 34% of those children are born again. Pressed even further, only 4% would strongly affirm the accuracy of Biblical teachings, that one's ability to attain eternal salvation is through the grace of God and Jesus' death and resurrection or even that Satan exists as a real being not merely a symbol of evil.  Barna's research discovered the probability of children accepting Jesus as their Savior is 32% for ages 5-12; 4% for ages 13-18 and 6% for those 19 and older.

As you consider Christian education, we want you to see the benefits available to your children.  Our curriculum is strong academically and integrates Biblical concepts into each lesson.  Limited class size allows caring certified teachers to give individual attention to students.  Those teachers have been carefully chosen to include people who are passionate about education, growing in their understanding of their chosen subject, and committed to a Christian world-view.   A growing program of athletics, art, music and other extra-curricular activities helps to round out an excellent education.   Our goal is to help your children succeed academically and prepare them for life!

Although the Ankeny Christian Academy Administration desires for Christian education to be affordable, the annual cost to educate each student is not entirely met by our tuition. Although we have set our tuition at a minimum amount, you may inquire about additional programs that ACA offers to reduce your tuition cost such as our Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (TRIP).

Below please find enrollment information for your child.  If you have questions or would like to schedule a tour, please feel free to call the school office at (515) 965-8114. 

Thank you for considering the Ankeny Christian Academy ministry.  We look forward to working with your family!

In His Love,

Mrs. Joyce Hansen
Ankeny Christian Academy Administrator
