What is Parent Academy? 

ACA strives to operate as an extension of the family under the assumption that the education of young people is the responsibility of parents. ACA's Parent Academy is designed to equip parents with the tools necessary to offer support at home with parents becoming partners in their child's success. Parent Academy courses will vary from seminars and lectures to a series of classes as the ACA Administration seeks to respond to the needs of parents, students, and teachers. Along with curriculum guidance, Parent Academy will also provide fellowship opportunities for families looking to connect with others in the ACA community.
