On behalf of the Board of Directors of Grace Christian Academy, it is a great honor to announce that our school achieved Model Status (one of 129 out of 6,000 schools worldwide) for the second consecutive academic year. Model Status is given only to the highest quality schools using the A.C.E. School of Tomorrow’s Bible-based, individualized, and self-instructional curriculum.
A.C.E. Ministries provides specific requirements for upgrading the quality and vitality of schools using the program. Model Status is earned through spiritual, academic, technical, and overall excellence. Attainment of status is a tribute to the fact that staff members are effectively motivating students, following the A.C.E. Procedures, and operating a high quality Christian School.
The academic program involves diagnostic testing, goal setting, and mastery of subject content. A.C.E. has taken the conventionally styled textbook and divided it into bite-sized, achievable work texts called PACEs. Each PACE is similar to a unit in a textbook. Each level consists of 12 PACEs in each subject. PACEs integrate Godly character-building lessons into the academic content, and self-instructional activities are carefully designed to develop thinking skills and create mastery learning.
Unlike a classroom setting where a teacher lectures the students, A.C.E.’s curriculum allows students to read the material for themselves, answer questions, and then test comprehension of the subject. Whether the student is a high achiever or a moderately-paced learner, the A.C.E. curriculum progresses at the exact level of 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.
Challenging and highly effective, the A.C.E. Program is an extraordinary educational approach. Biblical in its core, it prepares students for tomorrow’s world while giving them traditional moral values that will last a lifetime.
Grace Christian Academy was established in August 2020 and continues to provide excellent Biblical Education to students in St. Clair County and the surrounding communities.
“It was very humbling to receive such a great honor on behalf of everyone involved with Grace Christian Academy. It is a privilege to serve our Lord Jesus Christ in such a worthy calling.
