The ACE model expects parents to pay for a portion of their child’s tuition, and we know this comes at a great financial sacrifice. Typical ACE families of four currently earn around $40,000 annually and an ACE scholarship covers at most only half of a student’s tuition, with a current cap of $2,000 for K-8 and $3,000 for high school. However, in the spirit of our founders’ vision, in every circumstance, ACE families have significant financial need. Over subsequent years, the ACE governing board has relaxed these financial requirements for families to better serve the communities we serve. ACE, therefore, does not limit the private school choices for parents or seek to influence parents in the choices they make other than financial eligibility, as defined by the federal Free & Reduced Lunch (FRL) guidelines. The founders were impartial to the choice parents make, instead believing parents know best. Parents know their children the best and are therefore the best decision-makers for their children. Our mission is to ensure that parents and children have the ability to figure out which place fits them best.” Every child is different. Cranberg explained, “ACE was created to empower parents to choose the best school for their children. The founders believed that parents, not government bureaucrats, know what is best for their children.
