academy of creative education
The Academy of Creative Education (ACE), is a innovative, nationally recognized
model high school for students at-risk of dropping out. Established with an
innovative school grant from the Texas Education Agency and the Education
Economic Policy Center, the Academy began its first classes on September 16,
1991. Since its doors opened in 1991, the Academy has successfully assisted over
5,100 students to graduate. The Academy is the collaborative result of a design
team composed of educators and community representatives who envisioned a campus
where challenged youth, ages 16-21, would have a unique environment in which to
learn and where instructors would use innovative teaching models and teaching
strategies.
