ACE Public School Network (ACE) helps create and support new small autonomous schools and charter schools in Silicon Valley with the goal of providing all children, particularly children from under-resourced communities and children of color, the choice and access to a high quality public education.

ACE affiliated schools typically serve grades K-8 and partner with PACT (People Acting in Community Together), a community-based San Jose organizing group, and local school districts to create excellent small autonomous schools and charter schools while engaging the community.
