The A.C.E. Program: Building Skills for Success
At Reach Academy, we utilize the proven Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.) program, which has been successfully shaping young minds for over 50 years. This innovative educational approach focuses on building skill upon skill, allowing each child to progress at their own pace while ensuring mastery of essential concepts.
Why A.C.E. Works for PreK Students
The A.C.E. program stands apart from conventional educational approaches by recognizing that young children learn and develop at different rates. Instead of following a rigid, group-based timeline, our program allows each child to:
- Master fundamental concepts before moving to more advanced material
- Progress at their own natural learning pace
- Build confidence through achievable challenges
- Develop a strong foundation in both academics and faith
Key Features of A.C.E. in PreK
Our implementation of the A.C.E. program for PreK students includes:
- Individual Learning Plans: Based on comprehensive assessments of each child's learning style and abilities
- Continuous Progress Monitoring: Regular evaluation ensures each child is mastering essential skills
- Biblical Integration: Scripture and Christian principles woven naturally throughout all learning activities
- Character Development: Focus on developing 90 character traits of Christ through daily activities
- Critical Thinking Skills: Age-appropriate activities that promote problem-solving and analytical thinking
The A.C.E. Difference
Unlike traditional educational programs that move all students through material at the same pace, A.C.E. recognizes that each child's learning journey is unique. This personalized approach ensures that:
- Fast learners can advance rapidly without being held back
- Children who need more time can work at a comfortable pace
- Every student masters the material before moving forward
- Learning becomes a joy rather than a source of stress
