The Australian Association of Christian Schools (AACS) is an advocacy organisation representing the interests of over a hundred Christian schools in every State and Territory across the nation.
We provide our schools with a voice in the public sphere to ensure they can continue to deliver an authentic Christian education embedded in the teaching and life of the school.

Schools are never neutral. They are immersed in the ideas, beliefs, attitudes and values of those who write curriculum and policy and those who lead and teach in schools - all schools.
Governments have the responsibility to ensure children get access to a healthy education. Governments do not have the right to demand that children attend specific schools. We believe that parents must be able to choose the school they prefer for their child.
