We love ACE! More importantly, the teachers, administrators and the entire staff at ACE provide a nurturing environment for each child to not only grow but to flourish. PreK through 3rd grade are the foundational/formative years for children. There isn’t a better place to provide the solid academic foundation along with the character and discipline needed to help our children succeed in life. You cannot go wrong with ACE! Everyone including the active parents are passionate about the success of each child and family. I highly recommend ACE for any child. If your child is shy or outgoing, ACE will meet your child where they are and bring out their highest potential. Each child is equally as important as the next. You don’t have parent cliques or favoritism issues at this school. The uniforms are important to the sense of community and equality from the identical backpacks (included in the tuition) to the work folders and all school supplies (included in the tuition). The focus is on learning and not the other distractions. The teachers have a long tenure at the school, so you can tell that they are not only passionate about teaching, but they are supported by the principal and owners to teach! The communication with parents is excellent as well. If your child has a deficiency, the teacher will discuss the issue with you and then work with your family to get extra support if needed in an academic area. In my opinion, that level of attention to detail is exceptional. ACE is more than a school, it is a family! The phonics based PreK and K curriculum is the best for learning to read and spell. The accelerated program makes sure the children continue to build upon their knowledge every day. Our daughter loves going to ACE everyday, and she is thriving academically. And this is probably the only school in the area that brings in a merry go round, roller coaster, and dunk tank to celebrate the end of the school year. Work hard, play hard!

Our child transferred over to ACE last year when COVID started. In the short span of time that he started at ACE, his spelling, reading and writing improved exponentially. What we loved most about ACE is that they integrate important soft skills such as project management, time management into their curriculum. Students have dedicated study hall times to work on their homework and seek out their teachers for help. We feel that this arrangement is an excellent introduction to the styles of higher education and fosters ownership/responsibility in the students.
ACE also does a very good job in communicating about our child’s progress. In addition to quarterly progress reports, we receive weekly test results to track his progress. This allows for quick intervention on subject areas that need help. We are always impressed by how methodical and detail-oriented that ACE administrative team is. Any key school event like orientation etc. is extremely well-prepared and communicated. We really like our son’s teachers. They are warm, caring and encouraging but strict at the same time. All in all, we are very pleased that we found ACE!
