The ACE Program (Afterschool Classroom Enrichment) is a program sponsored by
IPSF (Irvine Public Schools Foundation) in cooperation with the Irvine Unified School District.
These classes are offered right after school hours on the Vista Verde campus for nominal fees.
IPSF selects contractors who teach all types of classes ranging from athletics to academics to arts.
As we kick off the new year, we reflect back on 2019 and some of our biggest stories from the year. We owe our success to the dedication of the entire community to ensure educational excellence in Irvine. We could not do it without you; thank you for your ongoing support! We look forward to the impact we can make together in 2020.
