DID YOU KNOW?
  • During the first five months of our first year our students wrote and published personal memoirs, worked on environmental projects such as beach clean-ups and restoring natural habitat for birds and other animals, and participated in many kayaking trips on the local waters. One of our teachers was awarded a trip to the Arctic to study global warming, and shared this work while he was in the field through his blog. Students worked with teachers to develop the first ACE talent show, the first ACE yearbook, and much, much more. Visit our website at www.brooklynace.com for what you will experience at our school.
