In line with the ACS Identity and Mission Statements, Core Values, Student Profile, and our commitment to Global Advocacy, ACS aspires to be a place free from any form of oppression or prejudice.
Standing up for the human rights of all is at the core of our commitment. This learning is essential for community building and for our students to thrive and succeed in our increasingly globalized world.
