Maranatha Academy has been a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) since 1984. We wanted you the parents, students, and visitors to
our website to be able to understand exactly what that means, so we have included a little excerpt from ACSI’s website with a link for your information.
About ACSI
Envision the potential of a Christ-filled education...
“I would claim that Christian schooling is not about running or hiding from--rather it is about embracing and pursuing the mind of Christ. It is about pursuing
the real understanding of what it means to be salt and light, about transformation by the renewing of the mind. It is about the development of fruitful bearers
of the image of Christ in a world gone bland with its salt-less-ness; a world staggering in an abundance of darkness where the light has been all but snuffed
out.”
Ken Smitherman, President
The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) strives to enable and equip Christian educators and schools worldwide to effectively educate children
and young people with the mind of Christ. Thus, students will be prepared for life because Christ, the creator and sustainer of the universe, possesses “all
the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:3). The life and mind of Christ is nurtured in the lives of students through redemptive relationships
with faculty who recognize that reconciling the heart and mind to God is the foundation of their work.
To this end ACSI seeks to equip schools for greater effectiveness, year after year. The many programs and services we offer are intended to enrich the teaching
of Truth--God’s Word revealed through Scripture as well as through creation. We seek to increase the vision for students’ intellectual development through
Christian faculty who model a rigorous Christian mind in their teaching and leading. We believe that schools can increasingly achieve their vibrant mission as
their operational practices grow in excellence.
The people of ACSI, in our Colorado Springs headquarters and the eighteen regional offices around the world, are eager to assist educators and schools in guiding
their students to reach their full potential in Christ. We desire to provide the tools necessary to rekindle vision, energize practices, and equip educators to
achieve this goal.
