MISSION
The mission of the Georgia Association of Christian Schools shall be to develop and promote Christian education in the state of Georgia primarily by assisting, supporting, and coordinating the work of member schools of the corporation and other interested parties and organizations.

HISTORY
The Georgia Association of Christian Schools (GACS) was organized in 1970 with ten (10) charter members for the purpose of coordinating the activities of a conservative group of Christian schools within the state. Over the years, it has provided a means of disseminating needed information, protecting Christian schools from government encroachment, and offering an increasing number of services and programs to its member schools.

GACS was incorporated under the laws of the State of Georgia on March 3, 1976, and is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. The Association lists a membership of over sixty schools with a total membership of more than 9,000 students in 2008-2009.
