About ACES

The ACES Program began in September of 2001, as an alternative for bright, hardworking students whose first language is not English. This includes immigrant and international students looking for a small, private college experience. ACES students have tested out of traditional high school ESL coursework and/or scored well within the range of fluency in language proficiency exams such as Duolingo, IELTS, and TOEFL. ACES students are often on the Dean's List, and many of our recent ACES graduates have been accepted to medical schools, law schools, Ivy League PhD programs, MBA and CPA programs, Education Masters Programs, and many more. In addition to offering a unique, theme-based learning curriculum, the ACES program also provides support in the form of a tutoring center which operates Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m..
