The ACAD culture is built on a foundation of professionalism and personal responsibility. In all we do–whether it is our work in the classroom, our interaction with teachers and students, or our involvement in the community–we strive to do it professionally. When people think of ACAD, we want them to think of a group of educators and students that are reliable, ethical, respectful, courteous, and capable communicators.

We also believe fully in personal responsibility. A choice is a choice, and right or wrong we own it. We understand that we cannot control every circumstance in our lives. We also believe that through hard work and perseverance, unfortunate circumstances can be overcome, and great success can be realized.

Professionalism. Personal Responsibility. These are the hallmarks of the ACAD culture, and it is part of what we hope to instill in every student that spends time in our classrooms.
