Funding Innovative Education Starts Here...
The AEFI is a community-based organization dedicated to providing enhanced educational opportunities for students in the Ashland Public Schools. The AEFI does this through competitive innovation grants and school needs grants.
Since 2010, the AEFI has provided over $625,000 towards funding innovative projects within the Ashland Public Schools.
Ashland Elementary STEAM Center
The AEFI has pleased to announce our next Innovation Campaign - the Ashland Elementary STEAM Center. This amazing project will leverage much of the learnings & success of the AIC while ensuring it is fully age-appropriate & right-sized for our elementary students. Its primary focus is to ensure that our younger students are getting regular access to many of the same STEAM tools & technologies that we have seen produce such great results at the AIC. In addition to that, this campaign also includes elements & technologies specifically targeting our ELL students as well as our students with disabilities to ensure our entire student population has the needed tools to reach their full potential. For full details on the program, please visit our STEAM Center page.
