Mission Statement

AcesSTEAMAcademy is committed to helping young men and women grow in both knowledge and grace. As a Christian boarding and day school, we wholeheartedly embrace the Christian faith and its values, while simultaneously nurturing a deep reverence for God and the inherent dignity of the human person. Our goal is to foster a strong love of learning and cultivate a commitment to community life. We seek to educate students not only intellectually, but also spiritually and morally, preparing them to thrive in all aspects of life and contribute meaningfully to society.

VISION STATEMENT

Christianity is inherently universal, and at Aces Elite Tech Academy, we open our doors to students from all walks of life and backgrounds, following the example of Jesus, who welcomed all people without judgment. We affirm the belief that every individual is created in the image and likeness of God, possessing inherent human dignity and infinite worth. We believe that God is at the very heart of humanity's search for meaning, and we help our students navigate the fundamental questions of life—Who am I? What is goodness? How am I to live?—which find their answers in a relationship with God. Our purpose is to support our students in their quest for a deeper understanding of God, anchoring their lives on this divine foundation.

We are dedicated to fostering student growth in grace, which we define as the regenerative power of Christ that elevates hearts and transforms lives. In alignment with the Baptist tradition, we view "love of learning" and "the desire for God" as interconnected pursuits. True love of learning stems from a sense of wonder, is undertaken with humility, and is driven by an insatiable hunger for truth. We challenge our students to engage critically with both classic texts and contemporary thought, encouraging intellectual exploration and spiritual growth.

Our comprehensive academic programs, including a research-driven tech and science curriculum, equip students to be keen observers of the world around them, cultivating the skills necessary for inquiry and discovery. Additionally, we prioritize the development of students' talents in fine arts and athletics, as we believe these are essential dimensions of human excellence. By embedding these values within the framework of the Catholic intellectual tradition, we aim to form students in the pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty—fundamental aspects of a meaningful life.

At Aces STEAM Academy, we understand that our shared life of study, prayer, and recreation is the foundation for building a close-knit, supportive community. We believe in living in mutual service to one another, striving to develop each student as an individual while simultaneously advancing the common good. Our community is one that values friendship, joy, and the growth of its members, nurturing their potential for leadership and service both within the Academy and in the broader world. We see our students as future leaders, equipped to make a difference in society by utilizing their talents for the betterment of humanity.

HONOR CODE

An Aces STEAM Academy student is expected to uphold the highest standards of integrity, kindness, and respect—for themselves and for others. Behaviors such as lying, cheating, stealing, or any form of abusive conduct are completely unacceptable and are not tolerated within our school community. Furthermore, the toleration of such behaviors, whether active or passive, is equally condemned.

This Honor Code is deeply rooted in Christian morality and aligns with the ideals that are foundational to any thriving society. The integrity of the Aces Elite Tech community depends on the internalization and adherence to the core values expressed in this code. Lying, cheating, stealing, and abusive behavior undermine the relationships that bind us together and hinder the cultivation of trust—an essential component of any academic and social environment. Therefore, the responsibility for upholding the Honor Code lies with every member of the student body.

We expect our students to embody these principles both within the classroom and beyond, maintaining a high standard of conduct off-campus as well as on-campus. As an academic institution, we take violations of academic honesty—such as cheating or plagiarism—very seriously. These violations will be addressed in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the handbook Through these measures, we aim to preserve the integrity of our academic environment and ensure that every student has the opportunity to learn and grow in a community built on trust, respect, and ethical behavior.
