“Ubuntu:I am Because We Are.”

Your donation supports The ACE Collective, a small secular, independent school in Sioux Falls, SD committed to relationship-centered, community-rooted education.

Guided by the principle of Ubuntu—“I am because we are”—the school believes education is a shared responsibility between educators, families, and the broader community. Small class sizes, responsive teaching, and whole-child development are central to the school’s approach.

Because independent schools do not receive public funding, community support is essential. Contributions help sustain educator roles, maintain accessible programming, and ensure students remain connected to a learning environment built on care, dignity, and accountability.

We invite individuals, families, and community partners to help sustain education that is innovative, inclusive, and deeply human.
