About Annapolis Area Christian School

Annapolis Area Christian School (AACS) is a Christ-centered independent school serving students from Kindergarten through 12th grade across four campuses in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.

Starting this coming school year, AACS will enter an exciting new chapter as our middle and high school programs unite on our 85-acre campus in Severn, Maryland, bringing students in grades 6–12 together on one campus. This transition will strengthen alignment across academics, arts, and athletics while expanding opportunities for collaboration, mentorship, and community.

AACS partners with families and local churches to educate and disciple students in a Christ-centered environment that encourages intellectual curiosity, spiritual formation, and excellence in every area of life. Athletics plays a vital role in that mission. We believe sport is a powerful space for developing character, resilience, discipline, and leadership.

*All Coaches must profess faith in Jesus Christ and be actively involved in a local church.
