Since our founding in 1994, ACES has supported math and social-emotional learning for more than 9,000 Minnesota middle schoolers.

Research shows that frequent ACES participants had higher high school attendance rates, higher graduation rates, and better school engagement and continued enrollment. Students who participated in ACES programming during their 8th grade year maintained 9th grade school enrollment at a significantly higher rate (95%) than their non-ACES peers (73%).
