Overview
ACE Learning Centers provides alternative education programs for middle and high school students who have dropped out or who are at risk of dropping out of school. A flexible schedule with morning, afternoon, and in some cases, evening sessions, means students don’t have to choose between life and school.
ACE Learning offers academic, social and behavioral support so that students earn their high school diplomas and are prepared to make positive choices about the future.
ACE Learning’s alternative education and dropout recovery programs help communities combat the staggering social and economic costs of high dropout rates. For almost 20 years, ACE Learning Centers has educated more than 155,000 at-risk students and students who have previously dropped out – and introduced them to all the opportunities a real high school diploma provides.
ACE Learning utilizes a number of research-based curriculum resources to deliver its instructional model. Initial and ongoing teacher-led instruction is tailored to ensure each student earns the necessary credits to arrive at graduation in accordance with his or her success plan. ACE Learning’s rigorous and relevant academic programs are accredited by AdvancED and aligned to Common Core and state-specific standards.
ACE Learning Centers is part of ChanceLight® Behavioral Health, Therapy & Education, the nation’s leading provider of behavioral health and education solutions for children and young adults. ChanceLight changes the direction of children’s lives by offering them the opportunity to create successful, independent futures.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
ACE Learning teachers have a special passion for working with students who are at risk. They love knowing they make a real difference in the lives of young people who may not otherwise graduate from high school. With a low student-instructor ratio, ACE Learning teachers help students remain focused, motivated and engaged in learning.
Our blended learning approach is differentiated and personalized, and includes enrichment, teacher-led instruction and small group collaboration. Because each education program is tailored to meet the specific needs of the student, ACE Learning instructors give every student focused attention.
ACE Learning teachers inspire and guide students to make good choices about their academic progress, their attendance and their behaviors. They receive the materials, supplies and administrative support they need to be effective educators. Our teachers know they make an impact.
