The Academy of Creative Education (ACE), is a non-traditional open entry/ open exit alternative campus for at-risk youth. ACE was established with seed money from the Texas Education Agency and the Education Economic Policy Center, and began its first classes for challenged youth in 1991.

Using a non-traditional approach to education, ACE is the collaborative result of a design team composed of educators and community representatives. ACE has been recognized by the Texas Education Agency and the Dropout Prevention Network as a model school.
