Special Education

Do you have the heart to work with children often considered by society as "the least of these"? All teaching is a form of ministry, but we believe special education teachers have a distinctive call to serve this sometimes overlooked population.

We've learned these children do best when their needs are addressed on all fronts: at school, at home and in the faith community. At ACU, we will prepare you to educate and support these students and their families - not only in the classroom but in all contexts of their lives.

Students interested in special education can certify in all levels (age 3 through grade 12), or a special education supplement can be added to any other certification.
