Our Program
All City Elementary (K-5) is a tuition free public school offering a choice for parents to be actively involved in their children's education. All City Elementary (ACE) has been a part of the Sioux Falls Public School system since 1974. ACE students come from all parts of Sioux Falls and represent diverse backgrounds. ACE consists of one section of each grade, which fosters a strong sense of community among parents, staff, and students. Due to the high degree of parent commitment, the close home-school communication, and the excellent instructional program, ACE students are consistently successful academically.
ACE is the only specialized school that incorporates parents into their classrooms. Daily instruction is enhanced with the parental involvement and the extra knowledge and background parents bring to the program. All City provides a strong academic program by using real world experiences, community service, drama, and technology. Strong parental involvement enables the instructional program to meet the needs of the total child through active, experiential, and collaborative learning.
"I love being in the classroom with my children! I am able to get to know the students and parents my child is spending time with. If they ask for a play date I know which children and families are the most compatible with my child."
Tanya - Parent
"All City seeks to create meaningful participation, not just in the classroom, but around our Sioux Falls community. There are many ways to measure the quality of a learning enviorment. At All City our students consistantly test above average across the district."
Nan - Parent
"The All City Musicals was my favorite activity! You get to sing, dance, act, and the performance is sometimes on TV!"
Grace - Age 12
"My oldest son, now in high school, has remained friends with those he went to school with at ACE. I too, have made friends with other parents at school. It's nice to have that network that forms between the parents at All City. We truly become a community often forming carpools, play-dates, and outside school activities."
