What Students Say About ACE
Hi, I’m Danush, a student at The Lawrenceville School. What sets ACE apart, is its commitment to depth over breadth. At ACE, it’s not just about covering material—it’s about truly understanding it. You get the time and space to engage with ideas, rather than stressing over grades. The English and humanities faculty are outstanding: they build your skills through in-class writing and provide exceptional, actionable feedback. If you’re aiming for a school like TJHSST or other elite boarding schools, ACE is a smart choice. Most applications—even TJ—weigh English and writing heavily. When you develop ACE-level writing, your ability to communicate complex ideas clearly can stand out more than a correct answer.
Personally, ACE has given me one of the strongest foundations for admissions—both for high school and, eventually, college. I will be forever grateful for their coaching, and the future they have given me.

What Parents Say About ACE
Without a doubt, ACE has had a profound academic impact on our son from the very beginning in Kindergarten through 7th grade. The strong foundation he received at ACE not only nurtured his curiosity and discipline but also helped shape his confidence as a speaker and writer. His oratory and creative writing skills were especially cultivated during his time at ACE, enabling him to excel in numerous debate competitions and ultimately contributing to his acceptance into both Thomas Jefferson and Lawrenceville High School. We are truly grateful for the role ACE has played in guiding his growth and success. — Madhu Vattipulusu
Over the past year at ACE, my daughter has demonstrated remarkable academic growth. She entered junior kindergarten midway through the year at age four and was reading within a few months. The leadership, faculty, and staff at ACE are outstanding, and the school has exceeded every expectation we had. We love ACE! - Barbara Agrait
My experience as a parent at ACE has been exceptional over the past four years. My boys have had the privilege of being taught by the most caring and dedicated teachers, who have loved and supported them like their own. Not only have they grown academically, but also in character and emotional maturity.
I have always felt supported by both the teachers and staff. They have consistently listened to my concerns and worked collaboratively with me to meet my children's needs. The level of individualized care and attention each student receives at ACE is unmatched. I love that every day I drop my kids off to school, I know they are entering into a loving, safe, and caring environment.
We are forever grateful for the positive impact ACE has had on our family. — Cynthia Findlater
