ACE Overview
School ends. Learning doesn’t.
Mission Statement
Texas ACE aims to improve academic performance/grades, school attendance, positive behavior, and student engagement by providing students with a safe place to go during nonschool hours for extended learning and enrichment activities. The program serves students in Title 1 schools who otherwise would not have such opportunities. Program Features Texas ACE provides:
- No-cost before school, after school, and summer activities for any student who attends a participating school
- Interactive, hands-on learning disguised as fun and aligned to the school day curriculum
- Enrichment activities, including sports and clubs
- Homework help, tutoring, study strategies, time management, and other targeted, needs-based academic assistance
- Youth development and project-based activities that build character, confidence, and leadership skills
- Support for college and career readiness, such as career planning, SAT/ACT prep, and help with college applications and financial aid
- Snacks (some participating sites may also include meals)
School only occupies about one-third of a child’s life. Texas ACE provides a safe, reliable place for kids and teens to go the rest of the time—so they can stay on track in school and in life. It’s a place to hang out with friends and get involved in sports, clubs, and other activities. Students get homework help, personalized academic support, and unique opportunities to work in teams and develop leadership skills. Led by educators, Texas ACE includes lots of hands-on and project-based learning to bridge what students are taught in the classroom with what they experience in the real world. Kids and teens enjoy it so much, they recruit friends to join!
