Atlantic Christian School was founded in 1971 and first held classes in the Parish House of St. John’s By the Sea in Ventnor City, New Jersey. For 33 years, the school operated out of leased facilities — in seven different churches and two public school buildings.

Atlantic Christian School opened the doors of its new, permanent school facility on a 37-acre campus in Egg Harbor Township in January of 2004. A 68,000-square-foot, two-story building provides classroom space, as well as a library/media center, computer and science labs, art and music rooms, a gymnasium, and a multi-purpose auditorium. Outdoor facilities include playgrounds and athletic fields for intramural and inter-scholastic soccer, baseball, softball, and track.

Atlantic Christian School is an interdenominational, independent school and is governed by a Board of Directors elected by the Atlantic Christian School Association. Over 100 churches are represented in our student body.
