Helping Christian schools serve the poor, impact the community and prepare their students for life,
by doing what schools do best
TEACH!
The Children at Risk Program seeks to enable educators and schools worldwide to contribute to the public good and effectively prepare their students for life. Working together, churches, NGOs and Christian schools can contribute to the public good, impacting the community by offering education to the poorest of the poor.
Through the program students are exposed to a discipleship experience beyond that the classroom can offer. They see Christ’s love in action and have a glimpse of life in the Kingdom. ACSI member schools report that their students teaching Open School mature spiritually and take a more responsible attitude to their own studies.
