ACE is Self-Directed, Deep Exploration
The primary focus of ACE is to give our students the opportunity to explore their passions and interests, connect to the subject matter in a deep and meaningful way, and develop lasting, resonant relationships with their teachers.
Students initiate the majority of their learning and projects, taking ownership of their goals and the iterative learning process, persisting through challenges, and documenting the changes in their ideas, objectives and experiences throughout the program.
How ACE Works
Students are paired with industry and faculty mentors who advocate for and support their student mentees throughout the program. Aligned with the school’s mission, students connect their ACE experience to the principle of serving others in a meaningful way.
