Welcome to the Accelerated Christian Education Godly Character-Building,
Self-Instructional Curriculum and Individualized Programs...
The founders of Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.) recognized
that children are unique and learn in different ways. They also realized
that education apart from Biblical values is not true education. Since its
inception in 1970, A.C.E. has endeavored to provide Biblical, individualized,
Godly character-building educational materials to schools around the
world. We (the leadership and staff of A.C.E.) appreciate the opportunity
to assist in the education of your young people. You will find that the
proven, highly successful A.C.E. program focuses on these distinctives:

Foundation of Scripture, with Biblical principles,


wisdom, and character development
Recognition of the God-given uniqueness of the individual

Knowledge, Understanding,
and Wisdom
With adolescence, students concentrate on
concepts that expand to the abstract or cognitive
level; focus is on why and how. This is referred to
as the understanding dimension of life. Students
learn not only facts (knowledge) but also how
those facts relate to culture, science, and history
(understanding).
Another distinctive of the A.C.E. curriculum is
its focus on wisdom. Most curriculum publishers
focus on knowledge (facts and information),
and whereas some publishers include understanding

Education curriculum is distinctive in its inclusion
of wisdom as a deliberate aspect of the learning
process.

at appropriate age levels in conjunction with
maturation stages. Writers and editors have
carefully developed a scope and sequence
with vocabulary that moves from simple to
complex and from concrete to abstract,
as students progress from kindergarten
through graduation.
Before adolescence, children focus on
each new concept from a mastery viewpoint
line upon line, precept upon precept; focus is
on the who, what, where, and when of information.
Educators refer to this information as the knowledge
dimension. However, there is development from
this stage of learning to cognitive learning.

Throughout the curriculum the
introduction of new vocabulary words is
computer controlled so that no word is used

certain number of times to ensure mastery.
Full-color self-instructional explanations

Each PACE contains Checkups, which are
minitests covering a section of the PACE. If mastery

themselves and a supervisor/tutor determines readiness for

final Test the next school morning. The final Test objectively measures student mastery of the material.
Since 1970, A.C.E. PACEs have proven to be effective tools for goal setting and achieving academic
excellence and spiritual maturity.

progresses through complex words, emphasizing the relationships between words and spelling patterns.

Word Building Level 9Etymology


This course leads students to an understanding of word origins. It also demonstrates the value in knowing
those origins. There is an emphasis on learning the spellings, meanings, and functions of words. Practice
exercises show the student how to avoid wordiness and how to be precise in the choice and use of words.
Basic spelling rules are introduced
and illustrated for the younger child.

Literature and Creative Writing
If you want your students to find reading a pleasurable experience and
writing a natural and enjoyable outlet, you will welcome the Accelerated
Christian Education Literature and Creative Writing course. Animated
cartoon charactersAce, Christi, and their friendslead students through
foundational concepts of writing.

Level 2
In this level students are encouraged to visualize, use their imaginations,
and give creative responses to questions following one-page stories. Instead
of drudgery, reading suddenly becomes a true learning experience, and
writing blossoms into a comfortable skill. To round out Level 2, each PACE
provides practice in handwriting and speed reading.

Level 3
Students in this level gain more practice in critical thinking. Special
activities require choosing the best endings for stories, writing story titles,
identifying rhyme in poetry, and learning about the kinds of books and the
parts of books. Character, setting, and plot are emphasized as the student
reads specific chapters in the two required resource booksSummer
Fun with Ace and Christi and Christians Courageous. (Refer to Resource
Materials beginning on page 72.) Speed reading and handwriting skills are
emphasized and practiced.

Level 4
Level 4 provides opportunities for students to use their imaginations,
to learn dictionary skills, and to practice cursive handwriting. Creative
answers are encouraged throughout the course and should be evaluated
subjectively. Students learn to put critical thinking skills into action as
they draw conclusions and examine ideas attributed to heroes
and heroines in the required reading assignments.
The six required resources are The Little Green
Frog, Saved at Sea, Ace and Christi SeriesThe Red
Rag Riddle, Charlottes Web, Childrens Missionary
Library, and Choice Stories for Children. (Refer to
Resource Materials beginning on page 72.)

40 www.aceministries.com
Level 5
Students learn more about setting, characters, plot, and order in short
stories. Opportunities to paint word pictures with similes and metaphors are
provided. Anagrams, analogies, and alliteration are also explored. Students
practice reading, observing carefully, and considering facts to find conclusions.
Required resourcesChoice Stories for Children, North to Amaroqvik, Heidi,
Ace and Christi SeriesMiracle at Camp Friendship, A Dog of Flanders, Star of
Light. (Refer to Resource Materials beginning on page 72.)

Level 6
As students complete Level 6, they will read The Fugitive King, Christians with
Courage, Alexis Secret Mission, Grandpas Christmas Gift, Little Pilgrims Progress,
and Treasures of the Snow. (Refer to Resource Materials beginning on page 72.)
In conjunction with their reading, students will learn and practice many new and
useful writing skills. From literary illustrations, they will be guided to use various
literary devices and write original paragraphs of summary; comparison and
contrast; cause and effect; fact and opinion; and exposition, description, persuasion,
and narration. They will also see how such paragraphs develop into larger literary
works and, then, use these different formats in their writing of essays. Biographies
and autobiographies along with the writing of news stories are also part of this
course. In both the PACE and Score Key, dictionary work will reflect the use of the
Thorndike Barnhart Intermediate Dictionary (1993). (Refer to Resource Materials
beginning on page 72.)

Basic Literature
Basic Literature Study Guides are completed in conjunction with odd-numbered English PACEs in
Levels 7 and 8. These study guides contain questions as well as tests and composition assignments for
each literature book per level. For a list of literature books used in each level, refer to Resource Materials
beginning on page 72.
