The mission of our program is to create a cooperative community dedicated to raising each child up to his/her potential. We encourage and incorporate parent involvement to support the idea that education is a shared responsibility. The ACE philosophy of education honors and supports each child’s unique development. Our goal is to empower children to reach their potential in a supportive atmosphere where they experience joy, creativity, and self-confidence while learning about themselves and the world around them. We achieve these goals through frequent and unique field trip opportunities, parent led Fridays where students explore different topics according to their interests and the skills our parents volunteer to share with them, and cross grade level collaborative learning.
