Individualized Learning. Academic Excellence. Biblical Principles.
Christian Bible Church Academy uses the Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.) curriculum, an individualized educational program designed to meet students at their current academic level and help them progress toward mastery.
The curriculum combines strong academic instruction with opportunities to develop critical thinking, personal responsibility, goal-setting, and Christ-like character.
Individualized Learning
Every student learns differently. A.C.E. uses diagnostic testing to determine each student's current academic level and identify areas where additional instruction may be needed.
Rather than simply moving a student forward based on age or grade level, the individualized approach allows students to strengthen areas where they may have learning gaps while continuing to progress in subjects they have already mastered.
Learning for Mastery
The A.C.E. curriculum introduces new concepts in a carefully structured sequence, moving from simple to complex and from concrete to abstract. Important concepts are reinforced throughout the curriculum to provide students with multiple opportunities to understand and master new material.
This approach encourages students to develop a strong academic foundation while progressing at a pace appropriate to their individual needs and abilities.
Academics & Character Development
We believe education should develop more than academic knowledge. Biblical principles and character development are integrated throughout the curriculum, giving students opportunities to learn about qualities such as kindness, loyalty, honesty, responsibility, and integrity.
These lessons are designed to help students recognize positive character traits and consider how they can apply those principles to their own lives.
Developing Critical Thinking Skills
Students are encouraged to think critically, analyze information, solve problems, and develop sound reasoning skills. The curriculum provides opportunities for students to move beyond memorization and develop a deeper understanding of the concepts they are learning.
Multimedia resources and computer technology are also incorporated into the educational program to support and enhance learning.
Encouraging Responsibility & Goal Setting
The individualized nature of the A.C.E. program encourages students to take an active role in their education. Students learn to set goals, manage their work, monitor their progress, and take increasing responsibility for completing their academic work.
These skills can help students develop independence, perseverance, and confidence that extend beyond the classroom.
Partnering with Parents
Parental involvement is an important part of the educational process. We value the partnership between parents, teachers, and students and recognize the important role parents play in their child's education and development.
