What is ACE?
The ACE After-school Program is funded through the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Grant initiative of the U.S. Department of Education. The goal of the ACE Program is to enhance each student’s academic success by improving academics, attendance, and behavior. Ultimately, each student will be more prepared for college and the workplace. The ACE Program incorporates the four fundamental components of academics, enrichment, college and career readiness, and family service.
The ACE Program will provide a safe and respectful environment for children in Pre-Kindergarten through 5th Grade. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in academic, social and physical activities. These activities will include age-appropriate group projects, organized games, scheduled homework time and socialization.
Enrichment activities integrating art, music, science, drama, literature, math and multi-cultural endeavors are also included to guide and teach children in fun, interesting and productive ways. The ACE Program incorporates activities and projects that foster cooperation, increase community awareness, promote positive social behavior and emphasize health and safety. Our program encourages self-confidence, the verbalization of feelings, and the development of problem-solving skills.
