OUR CURRICULUM
Pepperell Christian Academy uses the Accelerated Christian Education
(A.C.E.) curriculum. For almost 40 years, Accelerated Christian Education has
published individualized curriculum for grades K-12.
The A.C.E. curriculum has been
carefully compiled to introduce children to age appropriate
concrete and abstract reasoning skills. Experienced teachers
and editors have meticulously chosen vocabulary that spirals from
simple to complex, from concrete to abstract. New concepts are presented
five to seven times to assure mastery.
Diagnostic placement testing ensures that students begin at the
exact point of their academic needs. Diagnostic testing determines
if there are any "learning gaps." Students can simply
fill in the "learning gaps" without the stigma of "failing"
a grade or falling behind.
Character traits, like kindness, loyalty, and honesty, are taught
within the curriculum, whether it is math, English, history, or
whatever course the student takes. Students observe character development
in the cartoon strips and then apply the character lesson to their
own lives
This unique combination of academics and methodology, based on
physiological development patterns and biblical principles, sets
the A.C.E. curriculum apart from all other curricula. It provides
mastery learning, critical analysis, conceptualization, cognitive
reasoning, and life from God's perspective. These distinctives make
Accelerated Christian Education one of the most advanced educational
packages available.

Accelerated Christian Education is more than quality academics.
The curriculum is built on a theistic philosophical foundation. Students
learn to see life from God's point of view. Their personal relationship
with God and their personal responsibilities to family, church, and
community are of primary concern.
