Radio Shows

One of our Area Coordinators Marita Paly was featured on the "Sabado Latino" radio show on KLAY 1180! Marita spoke about A.C.E. methodology, the importance and advantage of introducing another language at elementary level, the impact of our program in our communities in addition to the impact of our program to the Latino community as well as many immigrants. Marita invited an A.C.E. student to talk on the show, which demonstrated the fluency and confidence one achieves from our unique program structure.

Her first interview went so well that they asked her to come for a second time. At the second interview, the show with Marita was so impressive that the director of NPR commented on the show and people called in from as far away as Washington D.C., Germany, and Japan.
