The core academics are outstanding… and the teachers push my kids in the areas they need while also celebrating their successes and promoting confidence and independence."
Join us for an Open House!
ACDS Open Houses take place on pre-scheduled days from 8:30 - 11:00 a.m. so teachers can visit with you freely. During these events, you are encouraged to ask in-depth questions about our teaching practices and our curriculum, examine textbooks and other classroom materials, and browse through samples of students’ work.
