Overview

Knowing that all children have the ability to be successful, while accepting each child’s individual differences, ACES Mill Academy fosters the development of our students academically, behaviorally and therapeutically to the extent that each child realizes his or her own self-worth as an independent, self-motivated, responsible learner who possesses the ability to make good choices in order to become a more productive, contributing member of society.

Educating Students Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade

• Academic:  Mill Academy challenges students to achieve their highest level of developmental and academic performance with the assistance of a highly qualified team utilizing the guidelines of the Common Core Standards.
• Behavioral:  Mill Academy implements a highly structured and consistent behavioral program with a focus on positive reinforcement, creating an environment where students can succeed.
• Therapeutic:  Mill Academy provides extensive therapeutic interventions aimed at improving the emotional needs of our students while forming connections and support between every child, their families and community providers

ACES Mill Academy provides quality programming for students, 6th through 8th Grade, in the areas of academic, behavioral and therapeutic interventions. With a positive emphasis on the successes, the staff at Mill Academy help students make progress on their schoolwork as well as their growth in the areas of decision making, responsibility and self-esteem.
