OUR
CURRICULUM
The ACE curriculum is an individualized, Bible-based, character-building curriculum package. The academic system involves diagnostic testing, goal setting, and mastery of subject content. The conventional textbook is divided into bite-sized, achievable workbooks called PACEs. Each PACE is similar to a unit in a textbook. Each level/grade consists of 12 PACEs per subject.
The student's needs are met at their unique level of ability and potential. Every student masters the subject concepts in each PACE, thus consolidating relevant previous knowledge before moving on to new concepts.
The curriculum allows students to read the material for themselves, answer questions, and then test comprehension of the subject, gaining individual support from the teacher as required. This approach promotes responsibility, discipline and independence.
Our learning philosophy is based on the 5 Laws of Learning:
- The student must be on a level where he can perform.
- The student must set reasonable goals he can achieve in a set period of time.
- The student must be controlled and motivated.
- The student’s learning must be measurable.
- The student’s learning must be rewarded.
