The students at ACS exemplify the beauty of unity in diversity.  These women, united in their aspirations to live a life of holiness as religious consecrated to God in the service of his people, are diverse in background, experience, nationality, race, and the charism of their specific communities.

Over the past years, the students at the College represent the following communities: 

the Sisters of Christian Charity, the sponsoring congregation;

Congregation of the Holy Rosary; 
Daughters of Charity of the Precious Blood; 
Franciscan Sisters of St. Bernadette; 
Franciscan Sisters of St. Elizabeth; Handmaids of Mary Immaculate; 
Lovers of the Cross; Missionary Sisters of the Precious Blood; 
Religious Teachers Filippini; Sisters of Divine Vocation; 
Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy; Sisters of St. Therese;
Daughters of Our Lady of the Visitation; Sisters of the Holy Rosary; 
Sisters of St. John the Baptist; Benedictine Sisters of St. Agnes; Daughters of Mary; Servants of Mary the Queen; Daughters of St. Francis of Assisi, Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception of the Mother of God and 
the Sparkill Dominicans.  

These women mutually share the charisms of their religious communities and values of the diverse cultures of their native lands:    
India, Kenya, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Tanzania, Malawi, the Philippines,  Vietnam, and the United States .  

The presence of dedicated, experienced lay students in theology and philosophy courses has enriched the unity of the College through another source of diversity.  The witness of their deep faith and the sharing of experiences from a lay perspective inspire both students and faculty.
