Origins

The Association of Classical Christian Schools was founded in 1994 as a professional association for classical Christian schools. Doug Wilson recounts organizing early Moscow conferences and working with Tom Spencer and Marlin Detweiler to establish the association. The official ACCS history names Logos School as an influential early model alongside independently founded schools.

Programs

The association organizes training, conferences and accreditation. Member schools remain separate institutions. Wilson later became an educator-in-residence, a role distinct from church office and from ownership of any member school.
