In addition 2 alternate members are elected. The school elects members of staff.



Parent-Teacher Association







Your PTA is involved in many aspects of your child’s exposure and experience at ACA, including academic and non-academic areas.

Some of the goals of PTA are:

  • To promote the welfare of your children at ACA, and the community at large.
  • To encourage and enhance the relationship between home and school to bring parents, administrators, and teachers closer in order to cooperate for the enhancement and development of your children at ACA.
  • To sponsor projects and events for the benefit of all ACA students.

Want to know how to get involved?

We need volunteers for many upcoming events. Contact us at aca.pta@gmail.com Together; we can make a difference in our students’ lives.
