The Four Keys to Accelerated Christian Education
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.
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.
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.
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.
Testimonials
Parents:
“This program has taken our children from "F" students in public school to "A" average in homeschool. The biggest beauty of this program is that no child is allowed to "fall through the cracks"; there is no going on to the next level until he has mastered the current level.”
“This program allows us to teach our child a HEALTHY basis of knowledge in religion that does not force any one person’s religious views or rules on him. Since starting this program, he has taken an interest in the Bible and Christ that he has never had before and has opened an interest in the morals and teaching we as parents want instilled in him.”
“Our son is extremely satisfied with our new program [A.C.E.]. I am amazed at how much he is learning and the maturity I see being developed in him. His favorites are social studies and science, and I can't wait to see what he will be studying next. I am completely satisfied and have experienced a wonderful year to date.”
Government:
“I was offered a scholarship to attend a state university in my hometown. I was able to become an active member of a Christian campus ministry. After I graduated with my bachelor’s degree, I had the privilege of interning for the Speaker of the House of Representatives in my home state. I worked there for a little over a year, until the last election cycle, and then the new Speaker made me a Director of Legislation, mostly because of my experience and reputation from my internship. I never thought I would be in government or politics, but here I am, doing my best and working hard.”
Legal:
“After I graduated from a school using the A.C.E. curriculum, I received a bachelor of arts degree from a state university, and I also obtained a law degree. I am now the County Administrator.”
“The A.C.E. program prepared me with the academic excellence and self-discipline needed to meet the challenges of the legal profession. After graduating from college and law school, I served in the U.S. Air Force as an attorney for eight years. I am now defending the constitutional rights of churches and individuals throughout the United States of America."
Military:
“I graduated from a school using the A.C.E. curriculum, enlisted in the Navy as a Nuclear Electronics Technician, and attended the following Navy Schools: Nuclear Field “A” School (Graduated as Honorman), Naval Nuclear Power School (Graduated as #1 ET and #2 overall of about 500 students), and Nuclear Power Training. I was selected for the Nuclear Enlisted Commissioning Program (NECP). I served onboard the USS Phoenix (SSN 702) as the Communications Officer, Main Propulsion Assistant, Electrical Assistant, Damage Control Assistant, and Assistant Engineer. I served as a Naval Science instructor and Nuclear Power Officer for the unit at a university. As a Lieutenant Commander, I was awarded the Naval Submarine League Frederick B. Warder Award.”
Business Administration and Entrepreneurial Enterprise:
“In my present job I am responsible for Finance and Administration. I brought with me experience as a CFO and Vice President of Corporate Administration at an opto-electronic components business. Prior to that I was the CFO of a laser and detector packaging company, where I took the company from start-up to high-volume manufacturing. My experience with building opto-electronics organizations, along with my CMA certification, will help my employer meet the aggressive cost ramps of the optical networking system.”
Science:
“After graduating from a school using the A.C.E. curriculum, I completed a bachelor of science degree in engineering. I am now a Bridge Construction Engineer, having passed my Professional Engineers Exam in 2004. I also faithfully serve the Lord in music at my local church."
Music and Platform:
“As a violinist I won first place at the A.C.E. Mexico Student Convention and at the International Student Competition. I was awarded a music scholarship at a university where I received my bachelor’s in music. I have participated in music festivals, recorded a CD with a music company, and collaborated on the newest release of a Christian group. I appeared on television and performed live on radio both in Mexico and Ecuador and performed in various institutions and recital halls throughout Mexico, Ecuador, and the United States. I even performed with various chamber orchestras and chamber ensembles throughout Mexico and the United States. I am presently pursuing my master’s in violin performance.”
A.C.E. Ministry:
“I am an A.C.E. graduate having had all my education, elementary and secondary, at a school using the A.C.E. program. After graduating from college, I began working at our church school. When war broke out, I was sent to Iraq and as a Marine was part of one of the first platoons into Baghdad. After the military I became an A.C.E. field representative, and presently I assist the executive directors at the A.C.E. Corporate Offices in Nashville, Tennessee.”
Christian Education:
“It seems like a lifetime ago that I graduated from a school using the A.C.E. curriculum. Now plans are underway for my oldest child to graduate this year from a school using the A.C.E. curriculum. I was a stay-at-home mom for many years and am now an administrative assistant for the church that I have been attending the past four years. We operate a small church school in our building. I have had the pleasure of being a part of this school both as a parent and also as part of my job.”
“I am thankful for the Christian education that I received through the A.C.E. program. After graduating from a Christian college, I became a secretary and part-time Learning Center supervisor at the school from which I graduated. I am thankful for the education that I received and that I can continue to be a part of other students’ education.”
