History

American Christian School was established under the joint sponsorship of Grace Baptist and Westminster Presbyterian churches. The high school program began with a class of 4 ninth grade students in the 1995-1996 school year, meeting in a private home. Classes were moved into the building of Grace Baptist Church the following year and remained there until 1999, when the school began occupying the upstairs of Virginia Avenue Baptist Church. The school expanded to kindergarten through twelfth grade in 2000 and moved into its present location in 2002.

The school is accredited through the Association of Christian Teachers and Schools and recognized by the Oklahoma Private School Accreditation Commission.

Campus

American Christian School has occupied the former Moose Lodge building on Highway 75 since November 2002.

Curriculum

The school follows a comprehensive curriculum with an emphasis on Classical Christian education. Latin is offered at the elementary level and Greek in high school. Logic and rhetoric are offered from eighth grade through high school.

Speech and debate is offered as an elective beginning in sixth grade. The school's speech and debate team won the 3A state championship title in 2008 and 2009.

Extracurricular activities

American Christian School student-athletes play, if enough people sign up, basketball, volleyball, and 8-man football with Wesleyan Christian School. Students can co-op with Bartlesville High School for soccer, baseball and swimming.
