Classroom Antics is an ACE Qualified Education Service Provider

The Ohio Afterschool Child Enrichment (ACE) educational savings account program provides qualifying families with $1,000 per child to use towards approved enrichment and educational activities such as tutoring, academic camps, and before- or after-school programs. Classroom Antics is an ACE qualified Education Service Provider, which means if you are approved for ACE, you can use your funds to pay for any Classroom Antics camp or after-school program.

PLEASE NOTE that the terms of ACE Ohio are subject to change. In the latest update, they are no longer accepting new applications. Those previously accepted can still use the funding before July 1, 2024. This will apply to a camp in July as long as the funding is claimed prior to July 1st.
