“For the sole true end of education is simply this: to teach [students] how to learn for themselves; and whatever instruction fails to do this is effort spent in vain“. - Dorothy Sayers, The Lost Tools of Learning

"All who have meditated on the art of governing mankind have been convinced that the fate of nations depends on the education of youth." -Aristotle

"The educational foundations of our society are presently being eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity that threatens our very future as a Nation and a people." -(A Nation at Risk, US government report, 1983)

"The unexamined life is not worth living." - Socrates

"Is not the great defect of our education today that although we often succeed in teaching our pupils "subjects," we fail lamentably on the whole in teaching them how to think: they learn everything, except the art of learning." - Dorothy Sayers

"Those who substitute anything for work in education are consequently enemies and destroyers of education." - Douglas Wilson

"The trivium is not an attribute of classical education because it embodies an archaic principle of organizing knowledge; it is classical because it is a universal paradigm for learning." (G.E. Veith, Jr. and Andrew Kern)

"Education is a progressive discovery of your own ignorance." - Durant

What are Charter Schools?

Charter schools are innovative public schools providing choices for families. Students may attend a charter school even if the school is not in their attendance area (district). Charter schools are tuition-free and provide academic excellence and accountability.

Character Education is ACE's priority

Believing character drives all areas of a person's life, ACE assists families in training their children to focus on motives rather than outward actions.

Regular attendance, superior scholastic achievement, polite classroom behavior, courteous treatment of peers, and good citizenship all result from helping pupils to understand, form, and practice core ethical values.

  • Character Assembly and Projects
  • Resource Room
  • School Community Day (1 day/week)
  • Curriculum Library / Homeschool Books

What is a Classical Education?

ACE curriculum is language and history intensive and is comprised of four stages:

  • I. Primary (elementary)
  • II. Grammar (elementary)
  • III. Logic (middle school)
  • IV. Rhetoric (high school)

ACE presents its classical curriculum in an integrated manner teaching that all knowledge is interrelated. Our classical training matches technique and subject matter to children's developmental phases.
