A.C.E. School of Tomorrow® offers two distinct beginning reading programs for young students. Since age has little to do with readiness to learn to read, the most reliable tool for placement is testing. The ABCs with Ace and Christi Pretest will show which early development program is right for the student and will allow the child to acquire the right foundation in reading.
Kindergarten with Ace and Christi The 36-week program (a full school year) features a complete scope and sequence utilizing all the developmental skills needed to prepare a child to read. Students will begin to read at different stages of the program, depending on their maturity and capability.
Kindergarten program is not self-instructional for the child. A complete set of daily Manuals for the parent, PACEs for the child, cards, forms, charts, stickers, and Salvation Songs has been put together for your convenience. ABCs with Ace and Christi A.C.E's phonetic reading program is a part of Level 1 and is designed to prepare a child for the individualized instruction of the PACE curriculum.

Following this 12 to 15 week program, the child is administered the Post Test to determine if he is ready to begin the self-paces individualized program. Article from ACE Ministries What makes Christian education different? Each aspect of Christian education should be an extension of Biblical principles. These principles should work for one common goal: to instruct and train young people to be more like Christ. In Proverbs 1:7 the Bible states, The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge . . . .
Every person must be given opportunities to accept Christ as his Saviour and build a relationship with Him. A student must know how to live life to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ for his life to be a success. These students, whether they are 5 or 17, can be the next generation of Christian leaders. If we do not take responsibility to educate them and introduce them to the Lord, then who will? Instructing is presenting knowledge. A.C.E. School of Tomorrow curriculum and program is a tool in which instruction is given. While presenting much academic knowledge, the curriculum also includes direct quotes from Scripture and directs the student in many Biblical principles and Godly character building instructions. By incorporating scripture, Biblical teachings, and 90 of the character traits of Christ, the A.C.E. curriculum continues to provide quality and true Christian education. To train implies not only the presenting of knowledge but the practicing of that knowledge. In Proverbs 22:6 the Bible reads, Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. A wise pastor once said, “Train up a child in the way he should go, follow it yourself, and he will follow you.” Our world is full of people who want to train children to their way of thinking. Whether it be advertisements, media, or peer pressure, there is a constant thrust to conform us to someone else’s standards. Training children to seek God’s wisdom to live accordingly goes against the thinking of most in our society. Source: A.C.E. Ministries Conventional educational programs take the student through a spiral of material while introducing him to new skills in sequence. Since students are grouped chronologically, they are lockstepped and receive the same material at the same time. However, students do not necessarily all have the same level of maturity as others of their chronological age, and their natural learning rates are not lockstepped with other students. The above-average student may master the skill the first time he is exposed to it, the average student may pick up part of it, and the below-average student will often grasp only a minimum amount or fail to understand it entirely. As the spiral continues, some students stay out in front while others are left behind for a season (or for good).
The A.C.E. program is designed around a new format: that of building skill upon skill. The scope and sequence ignores the concept of grade level and moves with continuous progress beginning with the first skill to be mastered. Depending on their ability and motivation levels, students may move ahead rapidly or take as long as necessary, but each student masters the material. As the student moves upward, level after level, and moves into new concepts, he is far better prepared to learn because he has mastered the skill on the previous level. He does not advance until he has mastered each concept. He is not lockstepped with his classmates but is learning individually and completely before advancing. A.C.E. implements a unique and effective system. Source: A.C.E. Ministries Schools and homeschools around the world use the A.C.E. School of Tomorrow® program in the training of their children. The A.C.E. program consists of Bible-based K–12 curriculum, student programs, and professional training.

Children’s minds develop best in a God-centered environment of absolutes and love. They emerge with a sweet attitude and with a greater, richer concept of God and how He wants them to live.

The curriculum presents 90 character traits of Jesus throughout the PACE material and incorporates role modelling that promotes Biblical integrity and Christlike character. Source: A.C.E. Ministries Conventional school systems fail when they force a struggling student to repeat an entire grade or advance a student without having grasped course concepts. Some of these students graduate from high school without basic grammar, math, or other academic skills.
A.C.E. School of Tomorrow® has a system that negates the need to repeat a grade or advance to more difficult material without mastering a subject. Through the FREE aceconnect Diagnostic Test online, students are tested based on what they have learned. Paper Diagnostic Test booklets are also available. Learning gaps—subject concepts the student may have missed—are documented after the student finishes testing. When weak areas are evident from the testing, the appropriate gap PACEs are prescribed to strengthen specific weaknesses. After completing the gap PACEs, the student progresses at his performance level. If he demonstrates mastery at all levels of testing, he has the ability to function at his chronological grade level. The four academic areas tested include:

from https://www.aceministries.com/about-ace But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. - Romans 8:11
In the event that you have been feeling drained and frail in your body, what you need is for the Holy Spirit in you to offer life to your human body a similar way He raised Christ from the dead! See the above verse. The principal thing I need you to find in this verse is the way God, the Holy Spirit and Jesus are referenced not once however twice here. My friend, this discloses to you that every one of the three people of the Godhead are doubly keen on offering life to your human body! However, how would we get an increase in revival life from the Holy Spirit? How would we get the existence of God that will drive out that stubborn COVID-19, beating migraine or ongoing depression? The appropriate response lies in the previous verse: "And if Christ is in you, the body is dead a result of wrongdoing, yet the Spirit is life in light of exemplary nature" (Romans 8:10). Notice how it says that the Spirit is life in light of exemplary nature. At the end of the day, life has something to do with righteousness. My friend, the more cognizant you are of your righteousness in Christ, the more life streams into your human body. So restore your brain with scriptural realities about your exemplary nature in Christ. Continue to tune in to lessons that advise you that your righteousness is a blessing and that you are righteous apart from your works. Ruminate over sacred texts about your righteousness in Christ. The more righteousness cognizant you are, the more life from the Spirit contacts and enlivens your body! Jesus resurrection is yours too and it has come! Declare, I AM THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS! Amen. The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), and all by ourselves, we have no real way to get away from the discipline for sins. Without Christ, we had a single direction pass to eternal separation from God.
Nonetheless, our God is a decent God, and our God is love (1 John 4:8, 16). What's more, since He adores us so much, He Himself gave an exit from damnation (Matthew 5 and Mark 9) and into never-ending life (John 3:16). So God sent His own dearest Son Jesus Christ to have our spot on the cross, to bear the full weight of God's fierceness and discipline for every one of our transgressions on His own body, and to die our death. Just Jesus Christ, the ideal and immaculate Son of God (Hebrews 4:15), can completely fulfill the honorable requests of God's sacredness in installment for our wrongdoings. Thus, it is just through our faith in Jesus and His perfect completed work that we can be saved, venture strikingly into the presence of our wonderful Father (Hebrews 4:16), and anticipate bountiful life on earth (John 10:10) and a beautiful future in paradise. There could be no alternate method to be saved separated from settling on a choice to acknowledge how Jesus has saved you. (Acts 4:12) Salvation is a gift from God, and comes through trusting in Jesus and Jesus alone. In John 14:6, the Bible reveals to us obviously that Christ is the only way to God and everlasting life, and in Romans 10:9–11, the Bible discloses to us how to be saved and have eternal life: Believe in our souls that Jesus kicked the bucket for our transgressions and was raised from the grave, and admit with our mouths that He is our Lord and Savior. To acknowledge Christ into your life and be saved, kindly say this salvation prayer. "Gracious Heavenly Father, thank You for Your affection for me, for sending Jesus Christ to die on the cross for every one of my wrongdoings. His valuable blood washes me clean. You raised Him from the dead. He's alive today. Furthermore, I thank You every one of my wrongdoings are excused. I'm washed by the blood. I'm under God's grace. What's more, I thank You Father that definitely goodness and mercy will follow me every one of the times of my life from this day forward. In Jesus' name, Amen." But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. - Romans 5:8–9
God is a God of pardoning. He knows you consummately and still loves you impeccably. We are captives to the possibility that in the event that somebody sees our blemishes, they will not cherish us any longer. Indeed, while that might be valid in human connections, God isn't that way. God sees every one of our defects, failings, and imperfections on Jesus at the cross. Our transgressions and grotesqueness don't turn Him off. Truth be told, to Him they are events to show His beauty and pardoning through the blood of His Son, who has taken out the entirety of our transgressions adequately at Calvary. So don't be humiliated about your blemishes, missteps, and defects. God knows your shortcomings better than you do, and He adores you nevertheless. His Word advises us that Jesus isn't somebody "who can't feel for our shortcomings." Instead, Jesus was enticed altogether focuses, yet He was without wrongdoing (Heb. 4:15). He sees each enticement and each preliminary that you are going through. He isn't baffled with you, and He isn't sitting tight for you to satisfy a bunch of customs before He pardons and loves you. The Bible says, "Yet God shows His own affection toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ passed on for us. Substantially more at that point, having now been advocated by His blood, we will be saved from anger through Him" (Rom. 5:8–9). Did you get that? When did God cherish you? Truth be told, when you were as yet a miscreant. Before you even knew Him, when you were as yet in transgression, He previously cherished you. The amount all the more today, when you have been purged by Jesus' blood and made honest! Having gotten Jesus' nobility, you are honorable until the end of time. In any event, when you fall into wrongdoing, your transgressions don't make you a sinner once more. At the point when you miss the mark today, you are as yet the honorableness of God. This is on the grounds that your exemplary nature comes from Jesus. Similarly that a delightful butterfly can't transform once again into a caterpillar, whenever you have been made upright by the blood of Jesus, you can't transform once more into a sinner. Knowing your upright character in Him at that point enables you to defeat each wrongdoing, each dependence, and each unfortunate propensity! |
