Community Partners Program

Info from the 2022-23 school year:
​Our goal is to raise $25,000 by December 31, 2022 
to provide scholarships to ensure every student is able to participate in our learning experiences.
To raise these needed funds, we reach out to you, our families and corporate partners, to help ensure equal opportunities for each and every one of our students. All ACS families participate in funding their travel, and we want to ensure that those who need some additional help are able to participate in the growth, education, and life-long love of learning and understanding that our travel program provides.

Thank you ACS corporate partners, individual sponsors, family donors and our entire community for your support. 100% of your contribution to our Community Partners Program will help us provide travel scholarships for ACS students. We are so proud of our community and its constant support for our kids and the philosophy of ACS. Because of you, the ACS Community as a whole is stronger.
