“Dear Mom and Dad – Thank you for sending me to ACA for Middle School Mastery this summer. I learned so much about the right vs. the left brain and how I learn best. I feel this will really help me in school this year and for my future. I also learned how to organize better and make schedules to manage my time. My academic coach helped me understand the purpose of school and why learning is important for my future. I also learned why saying “please” and “thank you” and kindness are so important.”

“Our son was doing poorly in school and was challenged with poor organization and lack of motivation. Since working with Sue at ACA last summer beginning with the boot camp, our son has excelled in school, not only with significantly improved grades but also with organization, good habits and a strong sense of drive to succeed. The relationship he has established with Sue has been invaluable for him and he knows he has an advocate now. This program was the best thing we could have ever done for our child to set him on the path to success.”
