EDUCATION
"THE HEART OF THE DISCERNING ACQUIRES KNOWLEDGE."
- PROVERBS 18:15
Learning is at the heart of ACM’s initiatives, because we believe nothing is as transformative as education. Our schools exist in a broad variety of settings, ranging from inner city neighborhoods to remote regions where there are no roads. We offer high-quality instruction for pre-K through high school and beyond, focusing on women and children that are often desperately poor. Our teachers are well-prepared leaders whose love for Christ shines through everything they do. One of our teachers oversees several small preschools, walking over mountain paths to visit them. Another teacher takes in impoverished students so they have meals as well as an education.
We cannot deny the poverty in the communities and the strong barriers between religions in Myanmar. ACM supports five preschools in Myanmar, providing a loving, safe environment for children from diverse backgrounds. These schools aim to break barriers between religions and fulfill Proverbs 22:6 by training children in the way they should go. While conversions may not always be immediate, we believe seeds are planted, and our students flourish with a solid start to their education.
PRESCHOOLS
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
ACM is providing primary education in very remote areas. Having this opportunity to learn in their early years, gives these children a brighter future and hope for a better life. Our dedicated teachers sacrifice so much to teach these children and to have an opportunity to share the gospel with the families.
Tinnman, son of Baihum and Nangram, our Directors in Myanmar, inspires us to reach out to thousands of children with special needs. Joshua School opened in October 2018 after much prayer, aiming to combat cultural beliefs that overlook and exclude those with disabilities. In Myanmar, disabilities are often attributed to one's past, leading to neglect and lack of support. Joshua School was founded to demonstrate God's love and provide holistic care—academically, physically, and spiritually. Our teachers receive ongoing training to maintain a 1:2 ratio, ensuring excellence in our work and care.
