ACES launches partnership with Great MN Schools, expands summer programming

Today, ACES announced the expansion of summer programming in Minneapolis through a new partnership with Great MN Schools. ACES will serve more than 300 middle school students this summer, providing one-of-a-kind math and social emotional learning curriculum and high-quality classroom instruction. In partnership with summer school sites, ACES will work to reinforce school-year learning and prepare students for a strong start to the 2022-23 year.

“ACES is thrilled to launch this exciting new partnership with Great MN Schools at a pivotal time for education,” said Christina Saunders, ACES Executive Director. “Disrupted learning caused by the pandemic continues to impact students and ACES’s math and social-emotional programming is more important than ever. Through this summer school initiative, ACES will significantly expand our reach and help hundreds of young learners in our community access the high-quality programming they deserve.” 

Great MN Schools is a Minneapolis-based nonprofit working to grow the number of schools providing an excellent and equitable education to every student. Great MN Schools partners with district, public charter, and independent schools in Minneapolis to reduce the opportunity gap and ensure that all children receive strong, grade-appropriate instruction and a learning experience that meets their academic, social emotional, and cultural needs.
