Athens Christian School

Athens Christian School (ACS) is a private, PreK–12 non-denominational Christian school located in Athens, Georgia, United States.

History
Radio minister and bookstore owner Buhl Cummings opened Athens Christian School with his wife in 1970. They offered Bible study and opened each day with worship and prayer.

The initial enrollment consisted of white children whose parents wanted to avoid enrolling them in racially integrated public schools. According to historian Ashton Ellett, white elites enrolled their children in Athens Christian School as part of the transition to a class-based system of racial exclusion that was nominally colorblind and revolved around the rhetoric of individual rights, personal freedom, and meritocratic enrollment.

In 1995, an Athens Christian School representative stated that the school was seeing additional applications in response Clarke County School District's "controlled choice" plan to reduce school segregation.

Academics
ACS is accredited by the Georgia Accrediting Commission.
