‎
‎✓ Primarily, the FIT Program is in fulfillment of ACIDA's five years vision (2025-2030) launched during its 5th anniversary in July 2025 which seeks to make Ganta "A Center of Academic Excellence in Liberia", an initiative that has teacher education as core pillar.

A total of 47 students were honored, 22 (Honor Roll List) and 25 (Principal List).

"This figure is higher than the previous period (first period) during which 35 students were honored." Ms. Tahn added.

According to her, the rise in the number of topmost students truly reflects our staff's dedication, professionalism and hard work.

Also making remarks, the PTA Chairman of the School, Mr. Emmanuel Cole on behalf of the parents praised ACIDA for her high academic standards which compel students to focus on their lessons.

"I am very happy today not because I am the PTA Chairman or my children's names were called, but I am happy because ACIDA has high academic standards put in place that are making our students to focus on their lessons. If we can have other schools like ACIDA I think Liberia will have the best school system.", Mr. Cole asserted.

ACIDA Christian Academy set to honor 39 topmost students.

On Friday, October 24, 2025 we held our first period grades conference during which class sponsors (Nursery - Grade 9) presented their progress reports.

These 39 students will be honored and certificated on Sunday, October 26, 2025 during our periodic PTA General Assembly (PTA meeting).
