"I can honestly say ACE saved my life. Things were not going well, and deep down, I knew that I needed a major change, and that overall change was attending ACE. ACE works for students like me because the school is small, and the whole culture and environment is different. My Graduation Coach had a big heart, but was also tough on me when I needed it. The self-paced program allowed me time to get back on my feet, literally and figuratively."
"Before attending The Academy of Creative Education, I had heard of its "bad" reputation placed upon it by those unknowing of the actual value it holds. People often say ACE is a place for bad kids, alternative school kids, academically dishonest and unmotivated students. In reality, ACE is a place of hope. It is a place for second, third, fourth chances when it feels like everything else in life has gone completely wrong. To others, I would describe ACE as a haven for opportunity."
"Traditional schooling was never an environment I thrived in. I had a lot to deal with constantly. During my time at school, I was in the process of being adopted. I was also attending therapy and battling bouts of depression and anger. At ACE I actually had a voice. The advisory circles done twice a week made me feel like my thoughts and opinions mattered. If I was having a hard day and struggling with the curriculum, the teachers were understanding."
