Our biblical worldview is the foundation of our education at ACS. In all disciplines and programs, ACS Middle School seeks to: Teach all subjects as parts of an integrated whole with the Scriptures at the center (Il Timothy 3:16-17); Provide a clear model of the biblical Christian life through our staff and faculty (Matthew 22:37-40); Encourage every student to begin and develop his relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20, Matthew 19:13-15).
In preparation for high school we want our students to be critical thinkers in the disciplines of Bible, English, Math, Science and History/Civics.

C.S. Lewis writes, "We are now getting to the point at which different beliefs about the universe lead to different behavior. Religion involves a series of statements about facts, which must be either true or false. " In a culture where absolute truths are being challenged every day, it is our mandate as Christian educators to equip our young people with the tools to help each student grow in their relationship with God (Deuteronomy
6:4-9).
Our goal at Arcadia Christian High School is to train, equip and send out students who will have confidence when entering college and the marketplace, using their God given gifts for His glory.
