Jody

We’d like to introduce Jody, a seven year old second grader in an ACE private school.

Like so many girls her age, Jody loves horses and wants to own one some day. In the meantime, she really likes that her “teacher makes science fun and is so kind and nice.” In fact, “nice” is also how Jody describes all the other kids in her school - even the boys.

Because her teacher is allowed to keep the classroom under control, students are consistently free to enjoy learning – and each other. That’s a private school attribute that has expanded the ACE waiting list to more than four times the number of scholarships we can award in a typical semester.

Kids are quick to pick up on these intangibles too. Jody knows that her parents chose her ACE partner school “because of its values.” For ACE, the value lies in providing a quality education to great kids like Jody.
