Social-Emotional Learning at ACE Academy
ACE faculty work to partner with students and families in an effort to ensure a safe and holistic learning environment for all students. In order for students to have a successful, positive, and healthy school experience, students enrolled and shadowing at ACE Academy are expected to interact with one another in ways that foster collaboration, understanding, and community.
ACE Academy uses conflict resolution when possible by integrating various classroom, behavioral, and social-emotional management approaches including but not limited to Conscious Discipline and the Nurtured Heart Approach.
ACE values social emotional learning (SEL) as a core part of our curriculum as well as the practice of embedding it into daily teaching practices.
To emphasize the importance of this, our evaluation process includes meaningful criteria that builds from Kindergarten to 8th grade.
