ACE Home School Curriculum

The ACE home school curriculum is a customizable and achievable homeschool curriculum suitable for teaching all grade levels. After giving the placement exam, you can be sure that your child's instruction is properly geared toward their specific educational needs.      

The ACE homeschool curriculum from Accelerated Christian Education is comprised of small, worktexts that combine the textbook and workbook found in a traditional homeschool program.

Each worktext or PACE is roughly equivalent to a typical chapter found in a textbook.

Pros/Cons of ACE Home School Curriculum

There is no perfect homeschool program and none that is suitable for all families. However, this program could work well if you have recently pulled a child from public or private school or was just getting started with homeschooling.  

I am familiar with a private school director who immediately places his high school transfers into the ACE home school curriculum when they enter his school. Later, some transition into other programs but many remain with the PACES through completion of high school.  

This program could also be suitable for working moms with numerous children who need their children to work on their own or families with several children.  

It is true that the work is presented/reviewed/tested and answers found within the PACES but isn't that true of traditional textbooks, too, to a lesser degree? Supplemental essay questions, reports, and additional work could always be added to the PACE requirements for enrichment with students.  

All in all, the PACES used in the ACE home school curriculum program do exactly what they suggest to potential buyers – they provide a Christian, user friendly, achievable program for all students.
