Curriculum:

We use School of Tomorrow (ACE) materials. This material has been in use since 1974. The company has over 300 employees, and 100 million has been invested in the developement of the methods and materials

How It Works:

In most grades there are five subject ares: math, english, social studies, science, and word building (spelling) plus electives if chosen. Each sibject area is broken into twelve booklets called PACEs.

The work for each day is planned and written on goal charts. This insures coninuous progress through the PACEs.

Each PACE has three sections. At the end of each section there is a periodic check-up. These process points canbe reviewed by the parent. At the end of each PACE is a self-test. This is a review of the entire PACE and points out any area where the material was not mastered.

After mastering the material in the PACE, the final test will be given. Each PACE will take approximately three weeks. The grade for the year is based on the average of all twelve final PACE tests.

The parent is the coach and counselor. The material is the teacher.

Admission Requirements:

* Families are required to fill out an application form for each child. Acceptance is based on character, information provided, and references.

* Parents are provided a training program to familiarize them with the ACE materials and methods. This will help you make the transition to home-schooling successfully.

* A series of diagnostic tests will be provided for each student. The point of these tests is to identify the correct level of current learning for placement into the ACE curiculum. If the student is deficient in some areas in their current grade, materials will be provided to attain competency before moving into the grade level programs. The student will be helped to succeed, regardless of prior learning failures.

* All parents and students are expected to attend services at an evangelical church of your choice.
