YOU CAN AFFORD IT! -
I often ran into people who
want their child in a Christian
school, but think they cannot
afford it. If this describes you,
I would encourage you to check
out ACS.
Athens Christian provides
the best value in private, Chris
tian education in Northeast
Georgia. One of the things that
makes ACS such a great value
is the incredible family dis
count that we offer. If you have
3 or more children enrolled at
ACS, you only pay tuition for
the first 2 and a half children.
In addition, we offer need-
based financial aid. So, if you
are ready to move to a private
school, come see us. At ACS,
your dollar will go further than
you think.

Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken
down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the
numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column
and box. Each number can appear only once in
each row, column and box. You can figure out the
order in which the numbers will appear by using
the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to
solve the puzzle!
