Celebrating 25 Years of Alternative Education in Auckland City
Nau mai, haere mai ki, ACES
We, Auckland City Education Services, are a successful educational provider for Alternative Education and Attendance Service funded by the Ministry of Education and managed by the contract holder for our catchment area: Mount Albert Grammar School.
Our goal is to tautoko (uplift) ākonga from Year 9 to 11 who are at risk of drifting away from their education. We work alongside them, focusing on a holistic approach to their success.This AE program is available for students in Years 9 to 11 who are either at risk of disengaging or have already disengaged from school.
Our Attendance Service is here to offer tautoko (support). Our role is not to judge, but to walk alongside you. We begin by listening (whakarongo) to understand the challenges you and your tamaiti are facing. Through mahi tahi (working together), we build a bridge of understanding between home and school. Our goal is to honour the mana of your whānau by creating a positive plan that removes barriers and helps your child re-engage with their learning in a way that feels safe and supportive.
Contact us today to kōrero about how we can support your rangatahi. Learn more about how our ākonga intake / enrolment process works. If your ranagtahi meets our eligibility criterea A Request for AE S is available to fill in online or downlaod. Learn more here about ACES AE enrolment steps.

We welcome all ākonga and their whānau into our community, a place of genuine care and support (manaaki). Whether tamiriki or ranagatahi are referred to our AE kura or attendance service, we work together with you. Whether your tamaiti (child) or ākonga needs help returning to school, support to overcome attendance challenges, or a fresh start on their learning haerenga (journey) with us, we are here to walk alongside your whānau. We are dedicated to finding the ara tika "the right path" for every student to feel valued, reconnect with learning, and succeed. We warmly invite you to explore our website further, and to connect with us for a kōrero.
