The School of tomorrow (also known as the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum) is an individual-instruction approach that allows each student to work on their own level of achievement, which may vary from subject to subject. The core curriculum includes five (5) major subject areas namely; Math, English, Social Studies, Science and Word Building.

Each curriculum level consists of 12 PACE’s (an acronym that stands for “Packet of Accelerated Christian Education” and refers to subject workbooks), or a total of 60 PACE’s for all five (5) subjects, each academic year, however, this number will vary depending on the student’s ability and actual performance. A student who is more skilled or properly motivated usually progresses at a faster rate.

Children do their PACE work everyday in the Learning Centers. Each student is assigned an individual office where he can work without being disturbed. Supervisors and Monitors help as needed to ensure that children receive individual attention to attain mastery learning on every PACE they work on.

A.C.E. Leveling and PACE Numbers

ACE refers to each grade as a curriculum level; thus a student is not categorized being in a specific conventional chronological grade level of work. Throughout the academic year, a student may be working on a different level of PACE work in each subject depending on his ability and accomplishments. PACE’s are marked only with numbers.

A.C.E. in a Nutshell

Since 1970 Accelerated Christian Education has published individualized curriculum and provided training in its implementation for grades K-12. Students are tested diagnostically upon entering schools or home schools using the program. Students are then placed in the curriculum in each subject at their own performance levels determined by the results of the diagnostic tests.

The unique format of the curriculum allows students to advance from unit to unit as they demonstrate mastery. Students move independently through the curriculum under the supervision of instructors who provide tutoring at the optimum moment of learning.

Accelerated Christian Education is more than quality academics. The curriculum is built on a theistic philosophic foundation. Students learn to see life from God’s point of view. Their personal relationship with God and their personal responsibilities to family, church, and community are of primary concern.

The Four Keys to Accelerated Christian Education

1. Individualized

The A.C.E. Model adapts to the learning speed of your child. This is unlike the “Public School Model” where the group is lock-stepped regardless of the student’s academic abilities. The A.C.E. Model allows your child to progress independently through the curriculum and not as a group. The “Public School Model” holds back the faster learner and forces all the students forward regardless of their “learning gaps”. Over a million alumni demonstrate that Individualized learning produces academic excellence.

2 Diagnosis:

The child is given a diagnostic test to determine current academic ability and clearly identifies any learning gaps within all subjects. For example, your child’s English grammar may be above his/her grade level. However their punctuation skills may be below grade level. Your child is then placed in curriculum at his/her academic performance grade level in each subject and the learning gaps are then addressed.

3. Goal Setting:

The Students learn through setting daily goals and are challenged by marking their achievement. This key to learning allows the child to visualize and plan daily progress. This unique discipline of A.C.E. places responsibility and accountability on the student for learning, thus establishing a lifetime appreciation for goal setting and achievement.

4. Mastery:

The Biblical value of excellence in all things we do is translated into mastering subject content. This is the foundation upon which all future learning is built. The A.C.E. Model reinforces honest achievement that results in advancement. Students must master a minimum of 80% of the material before advancing.
