Headmaster’s Corner by Steve Cummings 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.
