Dear Parents and Students,

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the ACS Academy.  This Student-Parent Handbook contains important information about the academic, social and co-curricular life of the Academy.  We expect parents and students to review this handbook together carefully, so that you are fully aware of the school’s routine procedures, programs and expectations. 

All of the policies and procedures outlined in this handbook are designed to create a school environment in which learning can flourish, as our students grow into caring, committed, involved, responsible and respectful young men and women.  We want each Academy student to take advantage of every possible opportunity for academic, social and cultural growth. (you can find a full description of our academic courses in the separate Program of Studies, available in the Office of Student Services). 

The philosophy, practices and academic and social expectations that shape the challenging ninth and tenth grade experience will well prepare our students for our eleventh and twelfth grade College Preparatory and IB Diploma Programs.  Our strong academic program is complemented by extensive athletics, activities, and service opportunities, which allow our students to develop their skills, talents and social commitments outside of the classroom setting.  In the country that gave birth to the concept of the well-rounded individual, we take our commitment to education the whole person seriously. 

Education is a partnership.  We are working hard to create a caring, challenging and positive learning environment.  We can’t do this unless students take seriously their responsibility for the learning and contributing to the school community.  And we can’t do it without parental support.  Working together as members of a caring and concerned team, we can successfully guide your children / our students on the path to academic achievement and responsible citizenship in preparation for successful and meaningful lives. 

All of us on the Academy staff invite parents to contact us when questions or concerns arise, or just to touch base about your child’s academic and social experience in the Academy. 

We look forward to meeting with you. 

Sincerely, 

The Academy Administration, Faculty, and Staff
