Mission Statement
A.C.E.S. is dedicated to developing, from America's inner cities, a new generation of critical thinkers and problem solvers, through our interactive, sports-themed curriculum. A.C.E.S. students receive nine years of tutoring/mentoring beginning in fourth grade and concluding with their high school graduation. We strive to place an indelible imprint on tomorrow's leaders: an educated, civic-minded, and creative generation. It shall become the duty of A.C.E.S. alumni to find a mind, spirit and heart to give back what A.C.E.S. shared with them. Their contributions to society shall be our ultimate success.
