2023 Summer Enrichment Camps
Note: ACES will host an in-person summer camp with an online participation option. The in-person summer camp will be limited to 14 students per classroom. Enrichment courses will cover all aspects of middle and high school academic training and courses, but in a concentrated format. These courses are primarily lecture-based, with students completing in-class exercises and occasionally taking homework home. Please click on each course below to view the curriculum.
