Student Learning Programs
Creating Enriching Experiences Beyond the Classroom
Through our Student Learning Programs, Student Leadership & Learning partners with K-12 schools and universities worldwide to deliver purposeful learning experiences. Learning is most impactful when connected to real-world issues, meaningful experiences, and a biblical worldview. Our programs, designed to spark curiosity, foster creativity, and inspire students to make a difference in their communities, go beyond the traditional classroom. They offer transformative experiences that connect learning with a biblical worldview.
International Christian STEM Competition
In partnership with universities, ACSI Student Leadership & Learning provides an International Christian STEM Competition (ICSC) for grades 7-12 students. This STEM program is designed to showcase the incredible potential of students from Christian schools in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). With a unique blend of academic rigor and faith-based values, this competition aims to foster creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration while reinforcing the integration of faith and scientific exploration.
National Math Competition
The National Math Competition provides an opportunity for students in grades 3-8 to demonstrate their math skills in a competitive setting. A combination of timed tests is given in a series of rounds in a digital format. The areas of competition include Arithmetic Computation (fundamental operations) and Mathematical Reasoning (may involve multiple operations and concepts and will require a high level of reasoning). Each student competes against other students in his or her grade and category across the globe with the highest percentage of correct answers advancing to the next round, culminating in national winners for grades 3-8 in Arithmetic Computation and Mathematical Reasoning.
This competition will take place in the Spring and will be conducted in testing windows beginning in February through early May.
Performing & Fine Arts
The Performing & Fine Arts Program presents a unique opportunity for individual students and school performance groups in grades 3-12 to demonstrate their talents and acquire new skills, all while embracing and utilizing their God-given abilities. These Performing & Fine Arts programs encourage students to refine their musical and artistic abilities and gain a deeper appreciation for the significance of using their gifts to glorify God.
ACSI Performing and Fine Arts Programs are developed and implemented in partnership with schools and universities.
Speech & Rhetoric
The Speech & Rhetoric Program provides students in grades 1-12 the opportunity to learn the art of speech and rhetoric through a purposefully connected speech program. This contextualized program embeds learning within a meaningful, real-world context founded on biblical worldview principles and facilitates collaborative learning within your student community. This program is adaptable and can be effectively implemented across schools of any size or grade level.
Upon completion of the Speech & Rhetoric Program, students in grades 1-6 will have the opportunity to participate in a school-hosted Speech Challenge. This adaptable model gives schools the ability to host this event, inviting other schools to join the Speech Challenge. Schools are encouraged to incorporate this into their Language Arts program. This will help prepare students for the Student Leadership & Learning Speech & Rhetoric program for middle and high school students.
Students in grades 6-12 will participate in the Student Leadership & Learning Speech & Rhetoric Challenges held at schools and universities.
