During National School Choice Week, the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) is launching its annual “Faith Teaches” campaign, reaffirming its longstanding commitment to parental choice in education and highlighting the transformative role Christian schools play in shaping students both academically and spiritually.
ACSI asserts that parents are positioned to choose the educational environment that best suits their children.
The “Faith Teaches” campaign underscores the belief that education is more than academics alone—it is an eternal investment in a child’s faith formation. This formation is intentionally shaped through the shared partnership of parents, churches, and schools working together. Christian schools uniquely integrate faith and learning, teaching students the intrinsic worth and dignity of every person—regardless of background— rooted in the biblical truth of Genesis 1:27. Stories like Devin’s, a current student at Virginia Tech who excelled in a Christian high school, are only possible thanks to school choice.
ACSI Vice President for Legal Affairs Philip Scott, J.D., who oversees legal, human resources, and risk management support for member schools, emphasized the importance of educational choice for families.
“It is imperative that families have the best educational options to fit the needs of their child,” Scott said. “Schools do not just offer a service; they are a partner in the formation of a child. Parents need the support and resources to choose wisely for their child’s flourishing and ultimately for the Glory of God.”
Through National School Choice Week and the “Faith Teaches” campaign, ACSI seeks to amplify the lasting impact of Christian education while continuing to advocate for policies that protect and strengthen parental choice.
