Austin Christian Vocational Academy was founded in August of 2000 and is in its fourth year of operation. The school is named after Mrs. Annie Mae Austin, a mid-twentieth century African American woman who typified the ideals of the school in her belief that faith in God, hard work, and education are the keys to success in life.
Mrs. Annie Mae Austin instilled these ideals in her children, her daughter, Mrs. Audrey Austin White, who became a church leader, committed educator, and dedicated mother; and her son, Mr. Alfred Austin, an educator, athlete, and respected athletic director. After three generations of Austins, Mrs. Annie Mae Austin’s grand-daughter, Dr. V. Robinson Coleman, established the school in her honor. Austin Christian Academy can be best described as a primary educational development institution. The key strengths of this institution are an innovative curriculum, state-of-the-art technology, strong teaching, administrative and parental support. God is at the center of the school, and therefore is part of the teaching and learning experience at Austin Christian Vocational Academy.
