We were both fortunate enough to attend a Christian school when we were younger — in fact, that’s where we met! We loved being at a school where God was taught through everything, from academics to athletics. That’s exactly what we wanted for our own children.

We love the community at Pusch Ridge. The parents, staff, and families all love the Lord and love to serve — it’s actually hard to volunteer some weeks because the sign-up sheets fill up so fast!

The only reason either of us was able to attend Pusch Ridge growing up was because of ACSTO.

We had such an amazing experience at such a prestigious school, with teachers who cared about us not just as students, but as God’s children. So when we had children of our own, sending them to the same school we loved was a no-brainer — except we absolutely couldn’t have afforded it without ACSTO.

There is nothing like Christian education. The way your children are cared for is invaluable — it’s so much more than academics. It’s what’s happening in their hearts, how they learn to handle conflict in a godly way, praying for one another as a community, and hearing God’s word together in chapel.

ACSTO can sound like a lot of work, but it truly isn’t — it’s incredibly user-friendly. You can create a personal link for your child that donors can click and fill out in minutes. Since the money donated is going to be paid in state taxes anyway, it either becomes a refund or offsets what a taxpayer already owes. Give it a shot. It’s so worth it.
