Principal's Message

Welcome to the ACS High School!

If you’re reading this page there is a strong likelihood that you are the parent of an adolescent and you have my respect and admiration for choosing to become one – it is perhaps the greatest challenge an adult can undertake, with the highest intrinsic rewards. As an educator, let me assure you that ACS is a school and community where your child will thrive.

ACS offers a rich and vigorous curriculum designed to challenge and motivate students. University is the goal of most of our students and our career and guidance counselors will help steer your child toward the most worthwhile choices. The Advanced Placement (AP) program offers a rich array of courses where successful completion enables students greater opportunities in many US and international colleges.

We are a school that is passionate about students playing an active role in their learning experiences, and developing collaborative skills as well as reflective and creative thinking skills. Our learning community has high expectations in an encouraging, supportive, and open environment.

The diversity of the ACS Community is an inherent strength. ACS celebrates the richness of a varied population and works to foster the notion of global responsibility. The extra-curricular program rounds out the educational experience for our students with opportunities in sports, visual, and performing arts.

Education is the work of optimists. Here at the ACS High School, we are eternally optimistic about your child’s future and confident that the experience they receive in this warm community will benefit them for the rest of their lives.

We look forward to your partnership. Once again, a warm welcome to the ACS community!

With Regards,

Jeffrey Wilusz
High School Principal

Program Overview

Our high school program cultivates a vibrant culture of expectation and inspiration that empowers our students to thrive in a changing world.

Our teaching methodology is rooted in progressive tradition, emphasizing active engagement and hands-on learning. From hypothesizing and collecting data to sharing information and conducting experiments, our students experience hands-on schooling, fostering critical thinking and creativity.

We prepare students for the future and inspire them to be lifelong learners and compassionate global advocates.

AP Program

The Advanced Placement (AP) Program at ACS is a fantastic opportunity for motivated and academically prepared high school students. It allows them to delve into college-level studies while still in high school, offering the potential to earn college credits, advanced placement in higher education, or both.

In addition to our traditional AP offerings, we introduce the AP Capstone Diploma as part of our high school program. AP Capstone is designed to enhance our existing AP program and consists of two courses: AP Seminar and AP Research for 11th and 12th-grade students.

The AP Capstone Diploma serves as a recognition of students' exceptional academic accomplishments at a college level, emphasizing their research skills.
