About us
Who we are
Arlington Christian Academy (ACA) is an educational ministry of the Arlington Church of God. In 1993, Dr. Diana L. Swoope, founding principal of Arlington Christian Academy, created what is known as, "The Affirmation Statement." The words ring through the halls of the Academy daily and serve as a reminder of the mission of Arlington Christian Academy.
”I am a unique creation of God. I was born to be a winner, and I will succeed, if I don’t spend too much time trying to fail. The color of my skin does not determine the content of my mind or my spirit. I will not accept the negative labels that society or others wish to pin on me. God created me to be a thinker. My thoughts are good, my opinions are special. I will study and work hard each day so that I can give and be my best. I will respect myself and I will respect others, for they too are creations of God. My life is too precious to waste on drugs, violence or rebellion. I will give my best because God, through Christ, has given me the best! I can do it, and by God’s grace, I will do it! Amen.”
