Spiritual life

At AAS, we build an educational community rooted in Christian values, where all members share the same mission. Our goal is to nurture students with the human and spiritual skills they need to lead fulfilling lives while serving a better world.

We strive to achieve this through liturgy and shared prayer, sacramental preparation, religious instruction, opportunities for fellowship within the school and beyond, and the integration of Christian virtues into all aspects of the curriculum and school life.
