Whether you are a current family seeking a supportive and nurturing environment to supplement your child’s education or you are new to the homeschool community, ACES K-6 Academy can support you on your journey. ACES DuPage serves families in the western suburbs of Chicago. Our programs provide families and learners with additional resources and supports for their home education. ACES Academy classes for ages 5-12 (at time of first day of fall classes) meet from 9am-2pm on Tuesday-Thursday. Academy CORE days are offered on Wednesdays and Thursdays; with an emphasis on ELA/History (Wed) and STEM (Thurs). Academy FUNDAMENTALS day is offered on Tuesday. There are no in-person classes on Mondays or Fridays.
Our Academy CORE homeschool support program operates on a unique theme-based/unit study approach, which integrates ELA, History, and STEM subjects into cohesive learning experiences. With a specific emphasis on each subject area on designated days, students receive targeted instruction and activities connected to the program themes of study. It is recommended to attend both CORE days for maximum immersion in the theme-based curriculum. Read more about CORE here! Topics for each class are based for the yearly instructional cycle (see graphics below or read more about this year’s topics HERE).
The FUNDAMENTALS day was new at ACES in 2023. This day is a wonderful supplement to our students who attend on the Academy CORE days OR it works as a fantastic stand-alone day as well! Read more about FUNDAMENTALS here!
All registered ACES Academy families (CORE and FUNDAMENTALS) will have access to additional optional field trips or social experiences throughout the year.
All classes are led by teachers; parents drop off students during the sessions. Programs are in session September-May.
Space is limited. View our enrollment process or contact us today with any questions or to schedule a tour.
