High School (Grades 8-12)

Our high schools today need teachers who not only are experts in their field of specialization, but who also are committed to understanding the unique emotional and educational needs of teens.

ACU's teacher education program prepares you for both.

We work closely with other departments - such as the sciences, mathematics, English, history and the arts - to see that you get rigorous training in your core academic field. At the same time, you will be prepared to manage a classroom and to build positive supportive relationships with your students. Upon graduation, you will be well qualified to help these teens prepare for their futures academically, socially and emotionally.
