Brief description of Kansas City:
Shawnee is about a 10 to 25 minute drive to each of the ACE schools and is a safe neighborhood with a good atmosphere. It has a great local park and running paths. The areas surrounding our schools are racially mixed and the people take real pride in their neighborhoods, creating a strong sense of community.
What do you like most about Kansas City?
The best thing about living in Kansas City is that there is always something to do. The Kansas City “Metro Area” is full of great restaurants, shopping, and bars. It has the world famous Country Club Plaza, which is an outdoor shopping center and Westport, which is an area with lots of restaurants, small specialty shops, and clubs.
