ACES Educational Center for the Arts (ECA), is an American public arts magnet high school, located at 55 Audubon Street in New Haven, Connecticut, United States.

The school is primarily located in the former Congregation Mishkan Israel synagogue with studio spaces across the street. The school has two theaters — the Arts Hall in the main building, and the Little Theatre at 1 Lincoln Street — and multiple gallery spaces throughout the main building.

The school enrolls approximately 260 students and is divided into five departments: Music, Dance, Theater, Creative Writing, and Visual Arts. Students take academic courses at their "sending schools" (public high schools) during the morning and attend classes within their departments during the afternoon from 1:00 to 4:00, Monday through Thursday.{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}}
