Located within the Yale University Campus and The Audubon Arts District, The ACES Educational Center for the Arts (ECA) in New Haven, Connecticut is a public arts high school that enrolls students from 27 districts from around the state.
The ECA Summer Institute provides personalized enrichment experiences for students that are passionate about the arts and motivated to gain life experience for the advancement of their future. Students that come to ECA are motivated and enthusiastic about learning and creative expression. ACES ECA’s unique arts-centered program provides students with the opportunity to develop their innovative and self-expressive skills, while strengthening their ability to communicate and collaborate with peers. ACES ECA utilizes the arts as a vehicle to help students develop as independent thinkers through problem-solving, creative thinking, and the value in individuality.
Students from ECA’s international sister-schools will also be participating in this summer enrichment program, providing Connecticut students the opportunity to connect and collaborate with students from around the world, expanding one’s cultural awareness and global competency. This program supports and facilitates interpersonal connections that go beyond one’s borders, while building upon international relevance.
The ACES Educational Center for the Arts is public high school that attracts competitive students throughout Connecticut and around the world.
