What Is Ace?The ACE Program (Academic and Creative Enrichment) offers identified gifted students services not ordinarily provided by the general education program. This enrichment program is different in content, process, product, and learning environment. Using broad based themes, many disciplines are integrated into the area of study. Students are encouraged to develop independent study skills and develop higher level thinking skills. ACE students are motivated to develop products that use new techniques or expand existing ideas. Gifted students are supported by a trained and experienced staff that lead the student into understanding themselves and others. The focus is to develop a positive attitude toward facing challenges and acquiring knowledge.
