There are no bells at ACE. Flexible hours and an extended academic calendar allow students to meet their academic requirements while providing the necessary time for employment and/or personal family needs.

Academy students attend school a minimum of four (4) hours per day based upon individual graduation plans. Classes are in session 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Students may stay until 3:00 PM by making arrangements with their teacher(s). All students need to arrive on campus between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.

Conferences with Academy faculty are available by appointment from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
