Program Overview

We provide a space to children to develop their own thinking, ideas, and sense of self. At ACE Academy, children explore activities and topics that foster academic, social, and life skills, as well as community integration.

Our evidence-based approach combines academics with extracurriculars that connect to the passions and interests of our students. While we offer homework help and tutoring for those who are looking for support in school subjects, we know that valuable learning happens outside the traditional classroom, too. For more information, please download our program brochure.

What to Expect at ACE Academy After School

We feel it is important for children to unwind in a comfortable environment after a long day at school. Our schedule is built with the goal for every child to rest and recharge with a predictable routine for their after school time.

Children start with arrival and snack, followed by Genius Hour. They work on a project or extracurricular of their choice, with options including:

  • Creative arts (arts & crafts, drama)
  • Tutoring (1:1 academic help)
  • Special interest activities, such as:
    • Gardening
    • Pottery
    • Cooking
    • Chess
    • Minecraft/Roblox
    • Woodworks
    • Knitting
    • Creative writing
    • LEGO©

After Genius Hour, all children have time for homework (with academic support available as needed) and free play time.

Sample Schedule

2:30 – Arrival and snack
3:15 – Genius Hour
4:15 – Homework
4:45 – Free play
5:30 – Heading home!

Our hands-on culinary enrichment program helps children learn about cooking skills, nutrition and food culture, science, and math while developing a love for healthy food.

Children learn the basics of stage acting using voice, tone, facial expression, and body language while providing them the opportunity to improve their confidence and imagination.

Children learn the basics of soccer, including dribbling, passing, and shooting. Each session ends with a fun scrimmage! Children learn ball control, are physically active, and have fun.

In today’s digital age, coding is as important has reading and writing. Children explore basic coding using Scratch, Python, Java commands, and more. (Level 2 includes a foundational course in Minecraft and Roblox.)

No matter your child’s experience with painting, drawing, and sculpture, they will find challenges and prompts to excite their love of visual arts.
