ACSI Teacher Certification

Just as we encourage our students to grow and become life-long learners, it is important that you grow and continue to flourish as well. Through ACSI, you can apply or renew ACSI Teacher Certification after meeting the professional and biblical requirements.

Christian Educator's Membership

Whether you are employed at a nonmember Christian school, not current teaching yet seeking professional growth or employed at a public or charter school, ACSI wants to support you through the Christian Educator Individual Membership. Through this annual membership, you will have access to the ACSI Community, timely communications, online resources, research, and thought leadership.

Likewise, early educators may find an individual membership beneficial to meet state licensing CDA requirements. The ACSI Early Educator membership is an annual membership for a faith-based individual teaching or helping children from birth to third grade.
