Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) is launching its annual “Faith Teaches” campaign during National School Choice Week, highlighting the role of Christian schools in both academic achievement and spiritual formation.
The campaign emphasizes that parents are the primary teachers of their children’s faith, supported by churches and schools as partners in guiding spiritual growth. Faith, ACSI notes, is formed in everyday moments, not only in classrooms or religious services.
The initiative provides families, congregations, and educators with resources such as guides, prayer materials, posters, and videos to help promote and strengthen Christian education globally.
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it,” Proverbs 22:6 says. This scripture underpins the campaign’s approach, emphasizing that early investment in faith formation lays a foundation for a lifelong spiritual journey.
“Faith is formed in the daily lives of children, and schools are partners in nurturing that faith,” said Philip Scott, ACSI vice president for legal affairs. “It is imperative that families have the best educational options to fit the needs of their child. Parents need support and resources to choose wisely for their child’s flourishing and ultimately for the glory of God.”
The campaign frames Christian education as a holistic, daily process that integrates spiritual development at home, in church, and at school. Christian schools aim to prepare students academically while teaching the intrinsic worth and dignity of every person, rooted in the biblical truth of Genesis 1:27.
Through the “Faith Teaches” campaign, ACSI seeks to amplify the lasting benefits of Christian education while advocating for policies that protect and strengthen parental choice.
