It All Starts Here Your child's kindergarten through eighth grade years are a crucial time for developing all dimensions of his or her intellect and character. At ACDS, we provide a more personalized experience for your child, which leads to superior preparation for continuing academic and personal success.Our curriculum and instruction challenges top students while meeting the needs of all students by offering flexibility, effective assessment, an array of methodologies, thoughtfully integrated use of technology, and a student-centered approach.

Our unique emphasis on speaking, writing, and multimedia communication skills across all curricular areas better prepares students for school, work, and life.

Our approach to assessment encourages reflection, self-awareness, and critical thinking, skills that are essential to future academic success. Our students are better able to work with others, ask questions, organize workload, and seek both challenge and support.

Our attention to balance and social-emotional learning help our students become kind, empathetic, and community-minded citizens who are able to work effectively with others and know how to engage in respectful discourse.

Browne Academy is committed to the preschool-8th grade experience and the academic, social and emotional foundation it provides our students.

We deliberately focus our attention and resources to the years of childhood and early adolescence, giving time for students to mature and tap into their abilities while preserving their childlike sense of joy, wonder and curiosity.The continuity of teachers, classmates, programs and expectations provides a safe and nurturing learning environment, where children and young adolescents feel safe taking risks, developing leadership skills and exploring new possibilities.
