The school was founded in 1987 by Brian Hazeltine and was one of the largest schools in the Calgary area.^[1] In 2019 it renamed as Airdrie Christian Academy.^[2] The school has developed a reputation for academic excellence, and has been ranked among the top schools in Alberta.^[3] (In 2012 the Fraser Institute ranked the ACS Elementary School in the top 25% of the province at 157 of 665 schools.^[4])
