OUR CURRICULUM
The Four Keys to Accelerated
Christian Education (ACE) Curriculum:
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. |
