We Get Giftedness

“The level of flexibility of the school is really unparalleled, as well as the level of instruction. Where else can your 6th grader do Algebra II and Precalculus material? And not because the school is about pushing kids ahead, but because this is truly the right level for them, and they are enjoying it and are coming home energized and excited about their math classes (and even homework)?”

“If I were to give one advice to parents considering Acera, it would be this: please consider it for your girls. Somehow it’s more typical to think of a STEAM school for boys (especially those who are bored in other schools), but girls sometimes tend to fit in better in other environments, and so it may be that a family thinks that they are doing well enough. I used to think that we knew our daughter, and that she was happy in her previous school, and that we were transferring our kids to Acera because it would be a great fit for our son. I had no idea just how wonderful, and how needed it was for our daughter also.”

“Our child has only been at Acera for 6 months, and in that time she has grown and developed in more ways than she had in 4.5 years in public school. There is more for us to learn about Acera, but it is clear that she is thriving and loving learning, which is extremely important to us.”

“Encouraging creativity and complex problem solving is another great philosophy of Acera that we love. This has helped my child to go beyond what he is comfortable and challenge his thinking. He complains a lot less about being bored.”

“Acera’s ability based grouping really allows children to reach their potential without a ceiling.”

“Acera students feel truly respected and in charge of their learning. Since kids of all grades tend to see each other regularly, younger students always see what they will soon be capable of. Acera’s atmosphere is one where a student truly feels like they can do anything they set their mind to.”

“Personalized education that stretches but supports each student. An amazing community and learning environment.”
