I was shocked at how unprofessional and ill planned the information night was. Principal chose to focus on things that made me question her integrity. The event came off like a sleazy infomercial with the primary intent to manipulate parents into seeing ACP as an elite selective club they should feel privileged to attend. No information was given about the curriculum, it was simply a meeting to reiterate that ACP is very hard to get into and walking people through the application process. My take is that ACP would be best for students not naturally gifted but are willing to work very hard to achieve similar levels to students that are, which is admirable and fills a need. I did not get the impression that the Principal has the best interests of the students in mind and consider her leadership a primary reason we wont be considering ACP. Close Quote

This school has not only amazing academic standards, but great sports too! ACP creates a well rounded education and welcoming environment. Don't be afraid of being the new kid, there's no pressure and everyone is extremely friendly! Close Quote
