Making a difference
ABOUT US
Since 2000, Anova has been an established leader in Education and specifically within the Autism Community. With a world-class clinic and treatment facility and as a valued community resource, Anova has had the privilege of changing the lives of hundreds of students and their families through teaching essential life skills for independence and instilling the confidence required for success in school, at home and at work.
Anova was founded on the belief that all children deserve the opportunity to learn and will succeed when provided with the proper learning environment. We believe that children living with autism require direct instruction in social and behavioral skills in order to receive educational benefit. The ACE (Anova Center for Education) Schools provide these essential treatments so that children may learn and thrive. In addition to our organization being a 501(c)3, our ACE Schools are Certified by the California Department of Education/Special Education Division as a non-public school, and by the California State Department of Social Services to work with families, residential homes, and day programs.
The Facts
Anova serves over 200 students daily on two campuses, and provides services in 15 counties across the state, helping over 400 families throughout Northern California. We are proud to have served over 5,000 families to date.
Our ACE Schools are the only specialized program in Northern California to serve children and teens with high functioning autism and related social, emotional and behavioral challenges.
Our core practice is to provide elementary, middle, and high school students with a comprehensive and supportive learning environment combined with highly individualized academic, social, and communication-based programs. This unique integration of diagnostic and therapy services into academic instruction provides the holistic approach to education our students need to learn and grow.
Anova's two K-12 ACE Schools are based on California Department of Education Curriculum Frameworks, with customized educational plans tailored to meet the specific needs of each student. This curriculum is implemented by a first-class team of professionals who work in concert to enable each child to realize his or her full potential.
Our superior team of teachers, behavior analysts, and therapists whose expertise in working with children with learning disabilities is wide in scope, are specialized in developing new programs and services to meet the needs of those with autism spectrum disorders.
