Welcome From the Head of School

Welcome to Atlantic Shores Christian School!  We sincerely hope that as you view our website, talk to our staff, and tour our building, you feel the spirit of the Lord in this school.  Partnering with the home and the church to help bring your student up in the training and instruction of the Lord is our greatest goal.  At Atlantic Shores, you will find the perfect blend of top-quality academics and a strong focus on character development.  Our motto is "preparing them for college and for life" and that is truly what you will receive with a Shores education.  

If I can be of any assistance or answer any questions, I am just an email away.  Thank you for your visit and I look forward to meeting you in person!
