Learning pathways.
We call our classrooms pods because, like dolphins, they stand for belonging, teamwork, nurturing, communication and community. Scroll, and swim with Daffy from first steps to Grade 2.
Experts tell us that 90% of all brain development occurs by the age of five.
Words from the parents who picked us.
“Ms. Priya knows our daughter better than our extended family does. That's the bar at ACE.”
“Our son came home asking why ladybugs have spots. The next week his class was raising six of them in a jar. That's the ACE difference.”
“We toured four schools. ACE was the only one where the teachers were on the floor playing with the kids when we walked in.”
“After two years here our daughter started kindergarten reading. More importantly, she started it kind.”
