Andover Coalition for Education's (ACE) mission is to partner with the Andover Public Schools to support innovative, curriculum enhancing, system-wide initiatives that will inspire our students to succeed in facing today's global challenges. ACE's privately-funded initiatives are distinct from the annual school budget and are designed to support interdisciplinary programs and innovative, student-centered experiences. ACE works closely with the school administration to identify programs and initiatives that align with ACE's mission and have the greatest impact on the number of students, disciplines and grade levels.
