ACE is continuing to grow each year and is making plans to add high school in the fall of 2009. My Young Scholar has been served exceptionally well at ACE Academy for 3 years now.

My PG daughter has truly thrived at ACE Academy. They have grown to over 40 students this year, almost doubling from last year, and there is a lot of interest for next year. To keep up with the schools rapid growth, they hire more staff so class sizes remain small. Each semester they add more options. Most importantly, this school understands the needs of gifted children, even PG kids.

It is a very good source. Good teachers, flexible and ability appropriate curriculum. It has been good for my kid. Still the size is small (22 kids in the whole school for the year 2006-2007) and this gets in the way of resources and options somewhat. The staff and parents are constantly striving to fix this. We hope that in a couple of years this will be totally fixed!
