Empowering Children

Supporting Families

Strengthening Communities

Making a difference 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 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.
