American Association of Christian Schools

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The American Association of Christian Schools (AACS) is a United States organization, based in East Ridge, Tennessee, that unifies individual Christian schools and statewide Christian school associations across the country for the purpose of accreditation, competition, and group benefits.

[edit] State associations

The AACS includes 38 associations, each representing the AACS schools in its state.[1]

[edit] Public policy advocacy

AACS sends periodic communications to its members providing news and recommended positions on current federal and state legislative proposals in the areas it describes as "education, religious liberty, pro-family issues, and pro-life issues."[2]

[edit] Land letter

In 2002 AACS president Carl D. Herbster was one of five evangelical Christian leaders who signed the "Land letter" to President George W. Bush, outlining their theological support for a pre-emptive invasion of Iraq as a just war.[3]
