A Progressive Education
At AC, progressive education is not a trendy catch phrase; it’s the centerpiece of all that we do. A progressive education is one that moves with the times; one that is relevant and meaningful. Our teachers don’t just deliver information to our students and require memorization of facts. Students at AC actively engage and drive learning through thoughtful questions, discovery, collaboration, and creativity. Learn more about why our methods, practices, and actions are worth your support.

The AC Difference
While AC celebrates and values traditions, we are not “traditional”.

Whether inside or outside the classroom, AC leads the way in innovation, global engagement, entrepreneurship, and ingenuity with learning that goes beyond books and tests.
