Curriculum: We utilize the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum. 1.    The ACE model adapts to the learning speed of your child. This allows your child to progress independently. This is unlike the "public school model" where the group is lock-stepped regardless of the student's academic abilities. 2.    The students learn through setting daily goals and are challenged by marking their achievement. This allows your child to visualize and plan daily progress, thus establishing a lifetime appreciation for goal setting and achievement. 3.    The Biblical value of excellence in all things we do is translated into mastering subject content. This is the foundation upon which all future learning is built. Students must master a minimum of 80% of the material to advance. The curriculum contains not only excellent academic material, but is also filled with instruction in the application of godly character traits to everyday life. Scripture is used throughout each and every workbook.

Diagnostic Testing & Placement: A diagnostic test is given to determine the student's academic ability, identify any learning gaps and effectively place the student into the curriculum. To aid with the evaluation and placement of a student, we request a Records Release Form from their previous school. If a student is transferring from a school using the A.C.E. curriculum they will not be required to take this test.   Progress Report: The school's grading system is designed to give parents a true indication of the student's progress or lack thereof. Students are given a Progress Report every 9 weeks. Report Cards are handed out to students at the end of each marking period. All parents must sign and return the Report Card promptly. Stanford 10 / OLSAT 8 Test: All students are tested each year during the fourth quarter, the cost of the test is $50.00 per student. This test is required by the Florida Department of Education and replaces the FCAT in our school. The test results are placed in your child's permanent school records. If you refuse to have your child participate in the test or if your child cannot take the test for any Reason, we will need you to sign a waiver form.
