Testimonials
“I cannot think of a better introduction to the scholarly world of learning than the Biblically based curriculum offered at Appleton Christian School. Thank you and may the Lord continue to bless you all!”
~ ACS parent, MG“ACS has been for me a powerful ally in teaching my child about God’s goodness and truth. I know my child could not have been in better hands than with her pre-school teachers.”
~ ACS parent, FT“Our commitment was to provide a solid foundation for our kids while they were younger, knowing full well that these were their most impressionable years. The dividends we’ve received are evidence that our “investment” was worth the sacrifices we’ve made for them. It became a part of our budget in the same way that our mortgage payment, utilities, insurance, groceries, etc., were. It was a necessary expense not an optional one.”
~ former ACS parents, G&KK“The Dyslexia Reading Program is a wonderful tool to help the students learn in a way that they can be successful. In a few months, our grandchild has more confidence in reading and math. We know the confidence level will just continue to increase. When we count our blessings, we count ACS twice. To God be the glory.”
~ ACS grandparent, EK“Our son will be attending the Spring break conference hosted by the Campus Ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ in Panama City Beach, FL. Thanks to ACS for providing the opportunity and experience through the Leadership conference. He loves to WRITE and SING his heart out to Jesus with his guitar!”

Why All the Emphasis on Fitness?
by Ann Wittman, ACS Teacher
This summer (actually the day after graduation) my son was in a terrible car accident. It involved two vehicles and eight people. The state trooper who was second on the scene said it was a miracle that no one was killed. He said ‘I have never seen an accident this bad with no mortality and no paralysis’. My son came away from the accident with multiple injuries: brain trauma, a broken jaw (in two places), broken spine, 3 bowel resections, among others. He spent just short of 5 weeks in the hospital and lost over 20 pounds. Yet when physical therapy started working with him they were very impressed with his strength and how quickly he improved his condition. I thought about his last year here at ACS and how Mrs. Grogan not only taught the 7th and 8th graders how to use the weight room equipment, but also made it available to them in the mornings prior to school. For the past year Tekoa worked out in the weight room two days each week, strengthening the full circuit of muscles. I am convinced that this is a large part of why the physical therapists were so impressed – how prepared his body was and also the year-long mindset of pressing on toward the goal. I also personally believe that this was a provision from God to prepare my son for this battle.
I want to thank Mrs. Grogan and ACS for opening the weight room for use by the students and Mr. Lingnofski and Mrs. Marnocha who were willing to be there to supervise those early mornings. I would also like to encourage the parents of the 7th and 8th graders to allow/encourage their children to work out and also to volunteer to be those early morning supervisors.
