Community Partners
At AESA Prep Academy, we believe every child grows best when the people around them are working together. That's why we've opened our campus to a small group of trusted providers who bring their expertise directly to our students and families — right here, in the classrooms and spaces our children already know and love.
These partners use AESA facilities as registered assessment and testing sites, and they provide on-campus intervention and support for our students and families, with scheduling priority given to our community.
