Overview
Acadiana Christian School (ACS) is a premier PreK-12th grade college-preparatory institution dedicated to the mission of "Reaching Students, Building Lives." Originally established in 1984 as Assembly Christian School and transitioning to ACS in 2018, the school provides a Christ-centered environment where academic excellence and spiritual formation go hand-in-hand.
As a member of the Our Savior's Church family of ministries, ACS partners with families to nurture the "whole child"-body, mind, and spirit-through a rigorous curriculum that exceeds state standards and is rooted in a biblical worldview.
Highland Baptist Christian School (HBCS) is a PK-12 non-public school built on academic excellence with a Biblical worldview.
If sheer numbers were an indication of the strength of HBCS, then there is no doubt that students whose educational foundation is rooted at Highland can readily say "the sky's the limit" in terms of spiritual and academic potential.
HBCS has experienced tremendous increase in enrollment since its inception.
Our community has overwhelmingly supported the traditional values of time-honored Christian education offered by our dedicated administration, faculty and staff.
The academic curriculum is strong. Disciplined behavior is expected and rewarded. Plan a visit to Highland today!.
