About ACSI
For more than 40 years, ACSI has faithfully lived out its mission around the world:
To strengthen Christian schools and equip Christian educators worldwide as they prepare students academically and inspire them to become devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
Since our founding in 1978, our vision has steadfastly desired that:
ACSI will become a leading international organization that promotes Christian education and provides training and resources to Christian schools and Christian educators.
As our mission continues, ACSI is renewing our commitment to Christian schools and educators to help them deal with today’s challenging times—characterized by seismic cultural shifts and disruption.
Today and into the future we will continue to assist, encourage and develop:
- Schools that contribute to the public good through effective teaching and learning and that are biblically sound, academically rigorous, socially engaged, and culturally relevant; and
- Educators who embody a biblical worldview, engage in transformational teaching and discipling, and embrace personal and professional growth.
Over the past two years, ACSI has diligently sought the Lord's guidance through prayer, and is now positioning everything under three pillars: Advancing, Access and Advocacy.
ADVANCING – Leading Christ-centered education toward excellence and flourishing
ACCESS – Making Christ-centered education available and obtainable
ADVOCACY – Promoting and protecting Christ-centered education for today and tomorrow
This will allow ACSI to be laser-focused on promoting excellence in Kingdom education around the world in the months and years to come.

Colorado Springs, CO– The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) is excited to welcome Linda Reedy as its new Accreditation Director for the Southeast territory of the U.S. In her new position, Reedy, alongside the ACSI Accreditation Team, will enhance educational excellence through the accreditation process within the Eastern Division.
She will begin her new role June 3.
Senior Director of Accreditation and Credentialing Stephen Deck is looking forward to Reedy assuming her new role.
“We're excited to have Linda join our team,” said Deck. “With her experience chairing teams and serving schools as a field director, she will be able to naturally transition into her new role. Linda will provide great service to our schools throughout the Southeast, as well as help drive the Accreditation Team's broader goals in support of our Vision 2030.”
Director of Accreditation USA Jamie Canterbury is also excited to welcome such a dynamic and experienced professional like Reedy to the Accreditation Team.
“I am thrilled for our schools to benefit from Linda’s knowledge and her support in their accreditation journey,” Canterbury said.
Reedy joins ACSI with more than 30 years of service in Christian education. For the last 
11 years, she served as the Academic Dean at Concord Christian School in Knoxville, Tennessee and was the Middle School and High School Principal for the 7 years there prior. In her career, she has also taught English, math, art, and Bible classes.
Reedy has served on domestic and international accreditation visiting teams for ACSI and as a commissioner in the Eastern Division. She also resourced her local Tennessee schools as an ACSI Field Director. Reedy has played a pivotal role in ACSI accreditation over the past 25 years and has assisted in the development of the new Inspire protocol.
She looks forward to assuming her new responsibilities.
