Why
choose Accelerated Christian Education ?
The A.C.E. curriculum is built upon
these five basic laws of learning:
Students must be a level where they can perform.
Reasonable
goals must be set.
Students
must be controlled and motivated.
Learning
must be measurable.
Learning
must be rewarded.
From its beginning, over
35 years ago, the A.C.E. curriculum has held to
these goals:
A
solid, back-to-the-basics education program.
A
course of study individualized to meet a child's specific needs
and learning capabilities.
A
program incorporating character-building and wisdom principles.
A
curriculum having available advanced computer technology to
help insure the finest education
possible in today's high-tech climate.
One
significant result form adhering to these goals is that students
score higher than their counterparts in conventional programs
using the same standardized achievement tests.
Whether
the student is a high achiever or a moderately paced learner,
the A.C.E. educational process proceeds at
the exact level determined by the child's ability.
Individualization makes it possible for each student to master the subject
before moving on. Such mastery is the foundation upon which all future learning
is built.
Individualization produces academic excellence. Students take responsibility
for their own learning. Biblical character training received as part of this
learning experience prepares students to welcome and accept challenges and
future opportunities that come their way.
Biblical
values and concepts considered foundational to relationships
and productive living are conveyed throughout the curriculum
in such a way as to become life-shaping influences.
What
services does A.C.E. provide ?
Diagnostic
Testing
Proper academic diagnosis is vital to your student's success. Students enrolled
in Lighthouse Christian Academy are given diagnostic tests to determine skill
and concept mastery. Experienced advisors custom design a course of study from
the test results for each individual student. Weak areas (gaps) are
strengthened first; then the student continues, progressing at his achievement
level.
Standardized
Testing
Year-end standardized testing is another benefit of enrollment in Lighthouse
Christian Academy. The Canadian Achievement Test is a complete academic
evaluation. Norm-referenced scores enable you to compare your student's
achievement with that of students of similar age, grade, and academic aptitude. The parent administers the test and returns it to Lighthouse
Christian Academy. After the test results become a part of the student's permanent record.
Projected
Course of Study
Advisors also prepare a projected course of study for high school students,
outlining all courses needed for graduation. Four courses of study are offered:
honors, college preparatory, general, and vocational.
