ACE is a not for profit membership organisation.  It is a community for schools, organisations and individuals interested in character education to share expertise and practice.  The organisation supports schools, teachers and other educationalists to develop and promote a vision and strategy for character education in their organisation that enables young people and societies to flourish. ACE aims to raise the profile of character education in the U.K. and demonstrate its effectiveness at supporting other whole school aims including attainment, behaviour and careers.
