School Reviews

I have had my children enrolled at ACA since 2003. My kids have loved the close connection they have with both the teachers and the other students. I am highly satisfied with the educaton they have received! I could go on about how great this school is but it would be better if you just visited the school to see for yourself. Their educational standards are high and they do so very much with the low tuition that they charge!
