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 from 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 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.

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.
