Accelerated Christian Education aka School of Tomorrow - Home School Curiculum - Lewisville,TX Review

This Home School Program is know by a couple of names.  Accelerated Christian Education and School of Tomorrow - Home School Curriculum. 

My children have always had Christian education whether it be in a private school or home schooling.  My husband and I wanted our children to not only be educated but to also be spiritually educated.  3 of our children attend a local private Christian School.  Our oldest graduated this past May from the same school. Prior to their attendance to this school I home schooled our two oldest children for about 6 years.  I would like to share the curriculum and our experiences with you.

I found the program to be reasonably priced per grade.  If the child can read and write well the child can do the program without a problem.  The program is basically a self-taught curriculum monitored by the parent(s).  You receive 60 unit PACES (workbooks) per grade.  That would be 12 each of 5 the required subjects.  The child sets a daily page goal according to their age, grade level, and their personal ambitious spirit.  You also receive the answer books, and tests for each unit PACE along with the test answer key.  Once the child completes their daily goal they should try to do more pages each day in each PACE by doing so they will complete their grade year in advance.  When the daily goal is finished and extra pages are completed the child is finished schooling for the day and can actually complete schooling in 3.5 hours a day.  You can also take the program with you were ever you go if you need to go to the doctors ,or have any other important appointment.  The children can do their work on the go.  My oldest child graduated at age 16 from high school and my second oldest is two years ahead.  Using a progam like this is great for self motivated children or children who get bored at school because the teacher is teaching slower than their learning ability.   I found the program to be very helpful and I only stopped home schooling because my husband needed my help full time at his business, and I found it difficult to work full time, be a wife, mother of 4, be involved in ministries, speak, take care of a house, and home school or else I would still be doing it.
