Our ACE Curriculum for grades R to 7 is designed to spark curiosity and foster a love for learning. With individualised learning, students learn at their own pace, mastering skills while building confidence. Engaging materials and hands-on activities make every lesson fun and interactive, setting the stage for lifelong success!
The ACE (Accelerated Christian Education) system is designed to make learners more active and responsible for their learning, with Supervisors (Teachers) facilitating the process.
Here’s a brief overview of how it works:
Learners work at their own pace according to their academic abilities, ensuring that no one is left behind or held back.
Each learner sets daily goals on a Goal Card, with an average of 25 pages per
day to cover a year’s work. Supervisors check these goals to ensure they match the
learner’s abilities.
Learners read through the text and learning strips, answering
questions independently. They score their work at score strips, emphasizing honesty and learning from mistakes.
Supervisors are always available to help, and Monitors (Teacher Aids) check the previous day’s work for correct scoring and adherence to the system. They also give merits and demerits for behaviour and work.
Learners work through a PACE (Packet of Accelerated Christian Education)
within 3 to 4 weeks, covering all subjects daily. Unfinished classwork becomes homework.
After completing a PACE and memorizing a scripture piece, learners
take a PACE Test. The pass rate is 90% for Grades 1-3 and 80% for Grades 4-7. If a learner doesn’t pass, they must repeat the PACE.
Daily goal checks and weekly spot checks ensure performance and
correct scoring. Completing 12 or more PACES per subject per year is essential for finishing an academic year.
