Arlington Community Education
About
Arlington Community Education, or ACE, offers affordable classes and enrichment programs for adults and kids from Arlington and beyond. Adult courses range widely, from Ukrainian pysanky with Alona Popova and A Taste of Spain to an evening on lucid dreaming and a France-versus-Spain cheese tasting with Formaggio Kitchen. Youth offerings include after-school programs such as a Dungeons & Dragons campaign for fifth and sixth graders and the Our Whole Lives course for grades 8 and 9.
ACE also runs SummerFun, which recently drew nearly 1,700 students from Arlington and neighboring towns over six weeks at Arlington High. Arts, cooking, sports and field trips fill the days, and more than a quarter of all Arlington Public Schools K-12 students took at least one SummerFun class. Fall and other seasonal catalogs are posted online, where people can browse and register for individual classes.
