Academic Excellence

Excellence. It is reflected in the way you THINK, LIVE, and SERVE. It requires knowledge and wisdom, character and integrity, action and commitment. At ABC you are not only educated in class, you are challenged to move beyond the books into real life experience.

THINK. Absorb the Word of God, letting Him renew your mind and transform your thinking.

LIVE. God's Word calls it walking [in a manner] worthy of your calling. Our president dubs it "tennis shoe Christianity".

SERVE. Christ exemplified it; God commands it. Practice it practically, tangibly, selflessly.
