OUR CULTURE

Mission and Core Values

At Acera, students engage in rigorous, meaningful learning tailored to their readiness and interests. Our day program is grounded in the belief that gifted students thrive when they are challenged appropriately and supported authentically. Within a culture of intellectual curiosity and purposeful learning, teachers design experiences that foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. As a lab school, we collaborate with leading researchers and institutions to pilot innovative STEM and interdisciplinary programs—ensuring our students engage with real-world ideas and tools, not just classroom theory.

Our Mission
Acera enables gifted learners to become their best selves, to learn based upon ability and interests. We safeguard the spirit and innate curiosity of each child, in order to develop the next generation of innovators, scientists and leaders for our world.
Our school is a microcosm of what is possible for all schools and a hub of innovation, catalyzing change in education beyond our walls.
