ACCELERATED
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
The
Accelerated Christian Education curriculum provides a
program of learning for preschool through to secondary
and there are also some courses at a tertiary level. The
curriculum uses Packets of Accelerated Christian
Education which are known as PACES. The student learns
to set and achieve their own goals in study by using the
PACES along with their corresponding score keys, thereby
making the parent a supervisor or monitor rather than a
teacher. In other words, students take responsibility
for their own learning. The score keys contain the
answers as well as how to obtain those answers and when
the child does their own scoring it reinforces the
learning. There are also video tapes as well as advanced
computer technology that may be purchased to supplement
learning.
The core
curriculum includes the six basic academic courses of
Math, English, Literature and Creative Writing, Social
Studies, Science and Word Building. Students may need
to fill in gaps in their learning if they are not
beginning at a young age; however, each child may work
at their own pace. With A.C.E. children learn to master
a point before moving onto the next level. This means
that students will score higher on overall achievement
tests. There are 12 PACES per subject at each level and
the student may complete 3 PACES per term in each
subject. In the A.C.E. curriculum God is incorporated
into every aspect of learning and this builds the
child’s character while providing a high level of
academic learning.

The A.C.E. curriculum is built upon
these five basic laws of learning:
-
Students must be a level where
they can perform
-
Reasonable goals must be set.
-
Students must be controlled and
motivated.
-
Learning must be measurable
-
Learning must be rewarded.
When the
system is followed correctly, the results are
encouraging to all, both in building good character and
in academic achievements.
It is recommended that you contact a provider for
further details. A provider will give you an
accountability system issuing professional term reports
and keeping ongoing records. You will also receive a
substantial discount on all curriculum materials.
Materials may however, be purchased separately at a
higher cost. A.C.E. curriculum is both an excellent
tool for learning as well as an integrated system that
will expose character flaws early in life which will
help you to build good Christian character from an early
age.
