Community Partners Program
ACS Mission:ACS Mission:
ACS is a humanities-based interdisciplinary program rooted in the search for truth, beauty, and goodness in the world. To fulfill this mission, we believe it is crucial for students to be provided the opportunity to explore the world outside the classroom and the routine experience of their daily lives. |

Funding Travel for Everyone:
ACS is committed to ensuring that all students have the opportunity to participate in our carefully designed outside-the-classroom learning experiences. We are so grateful for the support we received in the first two years from families and community members that enabled students to travel on our academy’s inaugural trips. Still, we were unable to help every student in need.
Each year, we hope to increase that support through our Community Partners program. As we near the Senior Trip to Rome and welcome new classes of academy members in upcoming years who will embark on trips of their own, the Community Partners program becomes vital to ensuring travel for all students. This year, we have a goal of raising $15,000 in aid for scholarships so that we can provide one for every student who needs one.
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. Our priority is to assist those students enrolled in the Free and Reduced Lunch Program.
ACS Community Partners Program will collect donations through December 31, 2019. Thank you so much for your support.

Education by Experience:
An important goal of ACS is to expose students to the wonders of our world and through such exposure, instill in them a lifelong appreciation for different cultures and parts of the world that they may not ordinarily experience. We hope that our travel program instills in our students a lifelong love of learning, understanding, curiosity, and kindness.
ACS freshmen participate in a variety of educational experiences related to the arts, are exposed to the world’s religions, and participate in off-campus activities that specifically relate to the program’s four pillars—thinking kindly, speaking eloquently, writing persuasively, and living ethically. Sophomores travel to Marfa and Big Bend National Park, taking in both the arts and the natural beauty of the area, including a star show at McDonald Observatory. Juniors travel either to New Mexico, where they focus on cultural exchange with the Navajo or Pueblo tribes, or to South Dakota, where they engage in service learning and becoming acquainted with the Lakota culture. And seniors journey to Assisi, Florence, and Rome, Italy to experience the wonders of the historic arts and culture of the region.
