What is the Alternative Community School? Where is it?
        ACS is a small middle school/high school, grades 6 through 12, in lovely Ithaca, N.Y. There are about 260 students, who are accepted to ACS through random draw from the applicant pool.
        ACS is a public school, and there are no fees or tuition.
 
What's ACS itself all about? What makes the school different? 
For a simple short answer, look at our name.

• Alternative - we are an alternative to traditional schools, in our curricular and school governance philosophies.
• Community - we believe in being both a community within our school and being part of the larger Ithaca community.
• School - well, we do learn here. ACS is a school devoted to preparing its students for a successful life.
