The Alternative Cooperative Education (ACE) program is in accordance with California Education Code Sections 58500 through 58512 which provides that school districts may establish and maintain alternative schools and programs of choice.
Our mission is to create a cooperative community dedicated to raising each child up to his/her potential. We will encourage and incorporate parent involvement to support the idea that education is a shared responsibility. Together we will support our students to be successful as they proceed through the educational system.
We want to educate children for a changing world and to challenge young thinkers to be tomorrow's problem solvers. We will nurture globally responsible citizens who are empowered to think beyond the confines of the classroom and who recognize their impact on the world around them.
The ACE philosophy of education honors and supports each child's unique development. Our goal is to empower children to reach their potential in a supportive atmosphere where they experience joy, creativity, and self-confidence while learning about themselves and the world around them.
The ACE curriculum is based on the following:
- integrated thematic curriculum
- multi-age classrooms
- differentiated instruction
- cooperative learning
- extended learning experiences
- authentic assessment
- family participation
All instruction is based on California State Standards.
