The Texas ACE is a grant program administered by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s 21st Century Community Learning Centers program in an effort to help foster students’ academic success by improving attendance, behavior, and academics. Northside ISD has 10 Texas ACE Learning Tree/Texas ACE After School sites funded through the Texas Education Agency (TEA) through 2025-2026. The hours of operation for our 21st Century Community Learning Centers are from school release to 6:30 pm for all campuses.

Northside Independent School District’s Learning Tree After School programs are committed to enriching lives by encouraging academic and social success. The after school program offers opportunities for children to access academic, enrichment, social, and recreational experiences in an after-school environment that is safe and supervised. The Learning Tree After School programs are designed to meet the specific needs of our students, and support the goals and objectives of both Northside ISD and the Texas Education Agency. Goals are met by incorporating academic enrichment, social and emotional curriculum, and enhancing self-motivation.
