Strategic Plan

ACST’s Strategic Plan guides our school's future plans and decision-making. It is mission driven and was created using input from all stakeholders. The Board approved our Strategic Plan in May of 2018. The Strategic Plan is modified every year as we accomplish our goals and readjust our objectives.

In conjunction with our Strategic Plan, ACST was recently reaccredited with Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges (MSA). As a part of this process, our Self Study outlines a Plan for Growth and Improvement. We have identified four objectives for ACST.
