Faculty & Staff
Scholars, mentors, champions of student growth
Our faculty and staff enjoy the privilege of working with attentive, intelligent and highly-motivated students and families on a beautiful, historic, well-equipped campus with state-of-the-art technology and teaching tools, including projectors in every classroom and a one-to-one laptop program for our students.
Faculty are supported by a Dean of Students who responds to discipline issues and a Dean of Faculty Development who offers teaching advice and heads a professional development program offering opportunities such as conferences, courses and certifications. Young teachers are robustly supported by their Department Chairs. Efforts to emphasize innovation and creativity are supplemented by a robotics laboratory, a fully equipped maker space, a wood shop, and a broadcast studio.
At ACS, the focus of our faculty is teaching excellence. In support of this effort, our teachers embrace opportunities to understand and support our students on multiple levels – in the classroom, and also by serving as advisors and club sponsors, by attending performances and competitions, and by embracing ACS’s commitment to offering multiple areas and opportunities for our students to excel. These efforts to build additional points of contact with students enable our teachers to strengthen connections and enhance classroom learning. The school administration is responsible for organizing events and supports the teachers in organizing extracurricular activities.
