Acera School

Acera is an amazing school for the right child. The teachers are each stars and they are allowed the freedom to build wonderfully creative curricula that keep both the teachers and the kids engaged. The interdisciplinary work is admirable. Math classes are assigned by level vs grade. Grammar is actually taught at the elementary level. We have seen our child's writing go from meh to wow in a couple of years! Highly recommend for curious and high-level learners!

We're so lucky we found the Acera School for our middle schoolers. We came to Acera because of COVID and the challenges at our excellent public school, but we stayed because we found it was truly a magical place. Our child was often bored and not always challenged, even at our excellent public school. But at Acera, they are always engaged deeply in the hands-on classroom experience. The teachers are amazing at immersing the kids into the learning process and do everything they can to follow the children's needs, interests, and passions. The community has been incredibly welcoming and our child has found a group of classmates that have fostered their intellectual pursuits and are a ton of fun every day. Now almost 5 years into Acera, our child is sad to graduate. They LOVE going to school every day. We are struggling to find a high school that would match up to Acera. Overall, we believe Acera prepares the kids extremely well for even the most challenging high schools.

We're incredibly pleased with our child's middle-school experience at Acera. The math in particular is fantastic, a very high level of content and tough homework that requires thought and creativity. Likewise for the biology lab, the astronomy elective, the independent science-literature research project... Language-arts learning is an integral part of all classes, even math. In a nutshell, the work is challenging and engaging and the teachers are skilled and very supportive.
