Welcome To American Christian Academy

The academic program is designed for children from Pre Nursery through Twelfth Grade. Pre School activities are designed to create an educational experience that is enjoyable and is at a level where the child is comfortable as well as callenged. Children are motivated to develop early phonics, reading, writing and math skills. In addition to the basic core curriculum, children are introduced to concepts in Science, Health, Social Studies, French and Bible. Fun activities such as art, music, computer, story time and physical education are also part of the Pre School program.
Junior School students are provided with standard American textbooks, which remain the property of the school. Core subjects are: Math, English, Reading, Spelling, Social Studies, Health, Science, French, Computer Science and Physical Education. Other subjects offered once a week include Music, Art, Bible, and Library.

Senior School students are required to take the following core courses: Math, English, Literature, Economics, Geography, History, Biology, Chemistry, Health, Physics, French, Computer Science and Physical Education. Each term two electives are offered, such as CPR, Cross stitch, Drumming, Debate, Oral Communication, Career Development, etc.

A set standard is required for both Junior and Senior school classes. Students are not promoted to the next grade if they fail any three subjects, or if they fail both Math and English, during the 3rd term grading period. Repeating students may retake exams at the end of the summer and continue with their classmates provided they pass the exams the second time around. Such standards are necessary to ensure that by the time ACA students graduate they will be well prepared for university level academics.

Senior School students are prepared for several external exams, including the University of London G.C.E. “O” level examinations, as well as the American SAT I and SAT II tests, administered at the University of Ibadan. Students also have the opportunity of taking the C.E.E.P. French exam from Paris. Senior School students are presented with a High School Diploma upon completion of the 12th grade. All students who have graduated from ACA are currently enrolled in universities in Lebanon, USA, Canada, and India.

ACA’s students continue to excel in external exams. One third of all students taking SAT I have scored above 1350. This year we received the record of having the highest score of all students in Ibadan, in the University of London GCE “O” level examination.
