ACE Academy offers possibly the most unique grouping of classes found anywhere in Central Texas.

Unlike public schools, ACE has no age- or grade-specific curriculum. All students are taught at their individual level in each subject. A rotating schedule of short courses, an impressive line-up of guest speakers, and regular field trips round out the educational experience.

Classes offered include:

Reading, Spelling, Writing

Philosophy
Spanish, Latin

FINE ARTS
Drama, Music, Art

The flexible pacing and homogenous grouping make ACE unique, drawing students and teachers alike. The curriculum is designed to be at a faster pace, more in-depth, hands-on, inquiry-based and multi-disciplinary in approach.

For the 2008-9 school year, ACE Academy offers Pre-K to 8th grade classes (ages 3-14) in flexible groupings. We expect to add a grade every year.
