“Our family was drawn to ACDS because of the child-centered learning environment and supportive culture. Our daughter (ACDS ’25) began at ACDS in 2nd grade and she has flourished. She glows with confidence and capability. The outstanding, dedicated teachers, the engaging curriculum, the focus on public speaking, and the social-emotional learning and support have provided her with an outstanding foundation for her future years of school and life.”
