PRINCIPAL & ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL'S WELCOME 

Dear Visitors,

Welcome to the ACES Educational Center for the Arts (ECA) website. We are delighted that you have taken the time to explore the vibrant world of creativity and learning that defines our school.

At ECA, we take pride in fostering a community that embraces the arts and provides a nurturing environment for students in grades 9-12. We extend our warmest gratitude to each one of you for considering us as a potential part of your educational journey.

Our doors are open to all students who express a passion and interest in the arts, regardless of their background or previous experience. ECA is not just a school; it's a diverse and dynamic community that thrives on the collective energy of students who share a love for artistic expression.

Our students hail from over thirty school districts, bringing a rich tapestry of perspectives and talents. Here at ECA, they have the unique opportunity to work with professionals who are actively engaged in their respective art forms, providing invaluable real-world insights, and mentorship.

We take great pride in preparing our students to excel in the arts, to discover and develop their artistic voice, and to use this training to push beyond the known toward creative innovation and discovery. The habits of mind and practice cultivated through intensive immersion in arts education allow students to confidently take on new challenges, develop and assert ideas, collaborate with empathy and flexibility, think critically about themselves and the world around them, reflect compassionately, pursue questions, and explore new fields with optimism for the extraordinary capacity of the human spirit and mind to envision and create.

If you find yourself intrigued by what ECA has to offer, we invite you to learn more by scheduling an appointment, which can include a tour of our campus or a shadow visit during a typical ECA school day. We are here to answer any questions and provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about the next chapter of your school journey.

We hope that you will seriously consider ACES Educational Center for the Arts as your chosen path for a transformative and enriching educational experience.

Sincerely,

Kevin Buno, Principal & Amy Christman, Assistant Principal
