Who Can Enroll?
Anyone can enroll in our classes at the same low tuition. We welcome residents of Arlington and non-residents. Adult classes are open to ages 18+. Our goal is to provide safe, accessible, and comfortable classes for students of all races, ages, genders, sexual orientations, gender identities, religions, abilities, statuses, and every other category protected by federal or state law.
How to Register
Registrations must be completed online. Go to Arlington.CE.Eleyo.com and follow the directions to register. If you have any questions, please call 781-316-3568 or email CommunityEd@arlington.k12.ma.us.
Registrations for in-person and online classes are per person unless otherwise noted.
You are officially enrolled as soon as your payment is processed. An email address is required for course confirmation and updates.
Please register early! Many classes fill fast and low enrolled classes are canceled.
Email/Text Communications
ACE will use the email address that you provide on your registration profile as our primary means of communicating with you. If you have a mobile phone, please add that to your profile and allow text messaging. We only text students with important, last-minute communications such as weather/teacher absences, and not for marketing purposes.
Redeeming Credits
If you have an existing course credit with ACE, please register and pay in full for your classes, then email us within 24 hours with the subject line ACE credit. We will refund you for the amount of the ACE credit. Note that your credit balance will not appear in your online dashboard. If you have any questions about your credit, please contact us.
Class Details
Classes are at a variety of locations, as well as online. Locations are listed under each class description along with dates, times, and prices.
Class times and locations will be included in an automated Course Reminder email that is sent 24 hours before your class. If you can’t find it, search your email for a message from Arlington@CE.Eleyo.com. You can also find this information in your online ACE account. Go to your Dashboard to view your current classes, which you will find under Explore All Programs.
Online classes will be held on Zoom. In person classes will take place at Arlington High School, Gibbs School, and other locations around town. See addresses and maps here.
Waitlists
If the class you want is full, sign up for the waitlist. There is no charge and we often get last-minute changes or add sections when possible. We will contact you if a spot becomes available.
Withdrawals

Credits may be used within two years by anyone in your family. There are no credits or refunds for student absences and/or late arrivals.

Cancellations
*NOTE: SummerFun and VacationFun have separate cancellation/withdrawal policies.
ACE reserves the right to cancel classes due to low enrollment or other considerations. If we cancel your class, you will receive a full refund to your original form of payment.
If the Arlington Public Schools are closed during the day due to holidays, school vacations, or inclement weather, ACE classes will not be held. If school is in session and weather becomes inclement during the day, cancellations will be posted on our website, emailed, and texted (please opt in for text).
If your class is cancelled due to weather, we will make every effort to reschedule a make-up date. We cannot offer refunds or credits for weather-related changes. Online classes will typically run in inclement weather.
Tuition Assistance
Partial tuition assistance is available for most classes for qualifying Arlington residents. See details and application.
COVID-19 Policy
Based on recommendations from school and town officials, ACE will not be requiring proof of vaccination against COVID-19 for students or instructors. Masks continue to be optional. We will continue to monitor the path of COVID-19 and will make any necessary changes to our class locations and/or schedule. Please check back for updates.
The following Isolation & Quarantine procedures are currently in effect in the Arlington Public Schools:
- Quarantine (close contact with a COVID-19 positive individual) is no longer required nor recommended, regardless of vaccination status or where the exposure occurred. All exposed individuals may continue to attend classes as long as they remain asymptomatic. Those who can mask should do so until Day 10, and it is recommended that they test at home on Day 5 of exposure. Day 0 is the day you were exposed to someone with COVID-19. If symptoms develop, follow the guidance for Isolation.
- Isolation (for positive COVID-19 individuals) – Those who test positive must isolate for at least 5 days. If they are asymptomatic or symptoms are resolving and they have been fever free without the use of fever-reducing medicine for 24 hours, they may return to activities after Day 5 and should wear a high-quality mask through Day 10:
- If the individual is able to mask, they must do so through Day 10.
- If the individual has a negative test on Day 5 or later, they do not need to mask.
- If the individual is unable to mask, they may return to class with a negative test on Day 5 or later.
Note: Day 0 is the day your symptoms began or the day you were tested if you were asymptomatic.
*If you were severely ill (were hospitalized) or have a weakened immune system, you should consult your healthcare provider before leaving isolation.
