    • Christian Values - A unique blend of learning, Christian formation in gospel values, and discipline prepare students for the challenges of a complex world.
    • Individual Attention - Class sizes are small enough to afford educators a chance to respond to each student's needs, both academically and morally.
    • A Safe Environment - The schools are kept secure for the safety of our children.
    • A Great Athletic Tradition - ACCS continues the long-standing tradition of athletic excellence for which Altoona's Catholic Schools have become so well known.
