ACADEMIC OUTCOMES AT ACA
ACA equips students to know, love, and practice what is true, good, and beautiful both in their formal education and throughout their lives. The result is both thankfulness and excellence.
Outcomes of a Classical Christian Education
A quality classical Christian education has been shown to produce excellent results across a variety of holistic outcomes. These results are demonstrated in the Good Soil Report, a comparative study by the University of Notre Dame looking at alumni from public, secular private, Catholic, evangelical Christian, religious homeschool, and classical Christian schools. When compared to students at these other types of schools, classical Christian students consistently excelled in college and career readiness, life outlook, Christian commitment, traditional and conservative values, independence, and influence.
Standardized Testing
ACA's students perform above both national norms of standardized test-takers in math and reading and above national averages of students who specifically take the Classic Learning Test (CLT).

ACA's graduates have been accepted to the following colleges and universities: Baylor University, Biola University, Calvin University, Colorado Christian University, Colorado State University, Covenant College, Clark College, Grove City College, Hope College, Metro State University Denver, New Saint Andrews College, Purdue University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, University of Idaho, Virginia Tech, Wheaton College, and Washington State University.

CLT 3-8: On the 2025 CLT 3rd-8th grade test, ACA students scored, on average, in the 72nd percentile—a remarkable 22 points above the national norm and in the top 28% of all CLT test takers.
CLT 10: On the 2025 CLT 10, ACA’s 9th and 10th graders scored in the 62nd percentile—12 points above the national norm and in the top 38% of CLT 10 test takers. When you compare ACA CLT 10 results against broader national norms (ACA students compared to all students, including those in public schools), the results are even more impressive. ACA students scored, on average, in the 81st percentile (i.e., in the top 19% of all students across the nation).
