MISSION STATEMENT:

The ACE Center is an alternative education cooperative, delivering individualized curriculum to students in grades 8-12 in order to fulfill the Common Core educational standards and secure college preparedness.  It is a safe learning environment that provides social and emotional support necessary to foster healthy relationships at work, home, and school.  It offers diverse 21^st century vocational training and real world career readiness.  Our goal is to cultivate positive student self-esteem and a strong desire for achievement and success in each student.

• Classes are small with no more than 8 students in a classroom.

• Students receive individual counseling at least weekly with an additional one group session per week.  The student and his/her family is encouraged to pursue outside counseling to support the student's emotional growth.

• Classes will be academically challenging, and teachers in the program will expect quality academic work.

• The ACE Center academic requirements parallel the regular education curriculum for a student’s grade level (English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies). 

• Grade 8-9 students can be considered for job shadowing that is developed and implemented by The ACE Center.  This is a career exploration option projected to last 8-12 hours over a 4-6 week period.
