I have 3 young kids in this school. This is now our 3rd year with ACS and I cannot say enough good things about it. Every teacher we've had the pleasure of working with has been incredible. It's clear to me that they love what they're doing and that greatly reflects the way the kids learn from them. It's a warm and inviting place to grow and learn, and I feel so fortunate that my kids get to be a part of it.
