About the IACS

"Of all the stewardship tasks God has given his followers, Christian mothers or fathers may undertake one of the most crucial: directing their children into a life-long, God-glorifying relationship with their Creator. Scripture clearly states that this complex spiritual task is accomplished through inculcating Christlikeness in the child’s spiritual, mental, physical, and social development. We are convinced that successful Christian education exists to come alongside parents, helping them to accomplish this essential responsibility.

The Illinois Association of Christian Schools is a collection of like-minded Christian educators gathered around our common bond in our Lord Jesus Christ, the faith once delivered to the saints, and our collective commitment to Christian education. We have organized to promote the advancement of biblical worldview within the classroom, the cultivation of spiritual gifts in fine arts competitions, the strengthening of physical and leadership skills via athletics, the development of productive citizenship through civic internships, and the improvement of overall education through professional development for teachers. Our state association leadership has been a strong proponent to help schools develop through the AACS nationally recognized accreditation program. Together we have strengthened our schools’ capacity to develop students’ mind and effectively cultivate the inner man.

If your teachers, administrators, and parents need a network to cultivate productive, Christ-centered, edifying relationships that contribute to the overall betterment of your school, please consider becoming a part of the Illinois Association of Christian Schools."
