With three kiddos enrolled, 2022 will be our fifth year as an ACM family. In our experience, the entire (teaching, admin, and facility) staff have all been top notch. I'm not sure if this is normal in most schools, but I feel as if the teachers advocate for our students. They care about each student's academic and emotional development, with the goal of helping them reach their potential. Our youngest child has already expressed a love for ACM and her teacher, and comes home excited to share details about her school day.We have (at least) one ADHD student. I'd say that our communications with the school around our child's needs have been exceptional. When putting a 504 plan in place, the staff/teachers really took the time to understand how the diagnosis presents in our child and to implement strategies in the classroom that would be helpful (to everyone). As each teacher has gotten to know our student, I would say that their collective wisdom has been effectively passed along to subsequent teachers each year (knock on wood!). We are so grateful knowing that the entire ACM family is there to work with us through challenges as they come up.One cool thing that the school does is incorporate a "house" system within the school. (Just like Harry Potter's 4 houses). Students are sorted into a house in Kindergartern, and that becomes their house for their remaining time at ACM. It's a creative way for students to develop spirit and school pride, as well as facilitate friendships with students from other grades. The houses compete against each other for House Points, which can be earned by demonstrating the school's foundational values.I'll close by saying that the common theme that connects all aspects of this school is pride. The parents, staff, and students all seem to take pride in themselves, each other, and the community that has been built here.

Wonderful school for academics both of my kids were well prepared for college. Special services helped our son with transition to college.

The magnet programs are phenomenal! You learn a lot from them.
