Testimonials

 

  • What does ACE mean to me? ACE Academy means the world to me and my daughter Olivia. She has been attending school at ACE for about 5 years and I can certainly tell you that they have helped my daughter in countless ways. They are always by our side through our many ups and downs with Olivia and Autism’s challenges. Even when Olivia is having a bad day, she is treated with respect and no judgement. She can come back the next day to start fresh and if we need to tweak something to make her and everyone work better, the teachers and staff are more than willing to help make it work. I am so grateful for Ms. Angelica and staff for their unlimited patience with Olivia. And last but definitely not least, Dana makes our experience at ACE completely wonderful. Always willing to make adjustments for Olivia to be successful in class and always wants to see her going home happy and I am extremely grateful for that. Thank you all for the amazing work you all do!

  • I wanted to take a moment to express my profound gratitude for the exceptional service and the incredibly caring and loving staff and teachers at ACE Academy.

    Since my son Anthony began attending your school at the age of 3, he has received nothing but the utmost care, attention, and support. It's truly heartwarming to see the dedication and compassion with which the staff and teachers approach their roles every day.

    Their unwavering commitment to providing a nurturing and supportive environment for children with special needs is truly commendable. The love and patience they exhibit has made a significant difference in my son's life and development, and for that, I am forever grateful.

    I cannot thank you enough for the positive impact you have had on our son. Knowing that my he is in such capable and caring hands gives me immense peace of mind.

  • It's an amazing environment where students thrive academically, intellectually, and personally. My son has attended Ace Academy for 9 years now. I have zero complaints about it. He loves seeing his friends, teachers, and therapist. He’s always intrigued to learn new things. It brings me comfort knowing he’s well taken care of. He enjoys going to school everyday and learning new skills.
