ACSI FAQs

 
Who can become a member of ACSI?
 
ACSI Membership is available to Christian schools and to individual Christian school educators.
 
 
What is the turnaround time for me to receive my order after it is placed with Purposeful Design?
 
If you live in the U.S., the average turn around time is about two weeks. Alaska, Hawaii and international destinations depend on Purposeful Design’s choice of carrier, which is determined by how quickly an order is needed. Orders should be placed at least four weeks in advance during the busiest times of the year (like August).
 
 
May I review textbooks before I choose to adopt them for my school?
 
Purposeful Design Publications has PDF excerpts of the textbooks available to review digitally online at purposefuldesign.com. In addition, you may talk with your Educational Resource Consultant about previewing physical copies. You’ll have 60 days to review any physical textbooks with free return shipping. If the items are not returned within 60 days, you will be invoiced for the material at full retail price.
 
 
May I choose how my order is shipped?
 
Purposeful Design reserves the right to choose the shipping carrier, however, your preference is always considered. A shipping quote of various shipping options may be requested for international destinations.
 
 
Will my order be expedited if I need it quickly?
 
Yes. Overnight AM, Overnight PM, 2-Day, 3-Day or an in-house RUSH (which guarantees the order will ship out that day) are all available if the order is placed before noon MST.
 
 
May I return a book I ordered from PurposefulDesign.com if it does not serve my needs?
 
Any new books you order may be returned per the PurposefulDesign.com's Return Policy. DVDs, CDs and assessment testing materials are not returnable. Please call ACSI Care Team at 800-367-0798 for authorization to return any merchandise.
 
 
How do I find out about getting my school accredited?
 
Regional offices in the U.S. and Canada work with schools in the accreditation process, and International Ministries (at ACSI Headquarters) works with MK/international schools. Please call your regional office for complete information.
