Vision

ACE is founded upon three core values:
Animate On Scroll.
Honour
God, others and yourself.
Animate On Scroll.
Excellence
In all things, be excellent - doing all things as unto the Lord and not unto man.
Animate On Scroll.
Discipleship
In humility, be discipled and impact your community by discipling others.
At Airdrie Classical Enrichment, virtue will be embodied through rich classical curriculum, teaching and expression.

ACE Distinctives

Thoroughly Christian
We believe in Christian Worldview, not as a lens to view life through, but as the essential understanding that we must live an obedient Christian life in all areas. We proclaim Jesus as King over our lives and operate from the centrality of the gospel in all things. God does not depend on us for His existence, we depend on Him in all things.
Classical Approach to Education
The classical approach to education is a time tested method that operates to develop students in age-appropriate ways. Using the model of the trivium, our program will educate students through the stages of grammar, logic, and rhetoric as we endeavour to cultivate wisdom and virtue equipping our students with the lost learning tools to engage in any subject matter. It is not simply a different curriculum; it is a different approach to education on the whole that helps a child learn how to think and elegantly express their thoughts and ideas. 
A Program of ACA@Home within ACA
As part of ACA@Home which operates within Airdrie Christian Academy, our staff are accountable to the mission and vision of the ACA Board, Head of School and society. ACA endeavours to “equip and disciple generations for Christ” and ACE partners with ACA to achieve this mandate. ACA@Home endeavours to Know, Love and Serve our Almighty God and then to Know, Love, and Serve each family.
Collaborative
We believe God has given parents the unique and important role to train their children up for the Lord. As a program, ACE endeavours to collaborate with families on this journey by offering a 1-Day Hybrid program in-person and 4 days of material for parents to continue at home with their student(s). This partnership is crucial to the success of the student's academic journey.
