International Classical Christian Alliance

What is the ICCA mission?

The International Classical Christian Alliance (ICCA) is a network of organizations within countries or regions that represent classical Christian k-12 or college education. This alliance is led by the Association of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS) to:

• Provide local support for classical Christian education around the world
• Find and support local representatives who understand the unique challenges of each nation or region
• Share ACCS training, operational, and community building resources
• As a widely recognized accreditor, help schools become successful and mission driven
• Form and unite regions and countries that can work together to build support locally

This strategic expansion emphasizes mission alignment and adherence to core principles, enabling international partners to engage deeply with the rich heritage and rigorous academics of classical Christian education. Balancing respect for local traditions with the proven standards of the ACCS, this initiative aspires to create a network of national associations and schools that are distinctively equipped to prepare students for their callings.
