About School of Tomorrow
Since 1970, Accelerated Christian Education
has published the individualized School of Tomorrow curriculum
and provided training in its implementation for Grades K-12.
Students are tested diagnostically upon entering schools or
home schools using the program. Students are then placed in
the curriculum in each subject at their own performance levels
determined by the results of the diagnostic tests.
The unique format of the curriculum allows
students to advance from unit to unit as they demonstrate
mastery. Students move independently through the curriculum
under the supervision of instructors who provide tutoring
at the optimum moment of learning.
School of Tomorrow is more than quality academics.
The curriculum is built on a theistic philosophic 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.
Each year, School of Tomorrow hosts exciting
national and international conferences, seminars, and conventions
for educators, parents and students. These events provide
opportunities for practical application, leadership, and training.
An Educational Strategy Based on Tradition
In the late 1960s, Donald R. Howard, Ph.D.
and his wife Esther, founders of ACE - School of Tomorrow,
were troubled that many students were not performing at their
grade level. Observing the same situation with their own children,
they began questioning the structure of the conventional educational
system.
They designed a program geared to meet the
learning needs of individual children. Through the development
of self-instructional, individually prescribed, continuous
progress material, the School of Tomorrow program came into
being. It was destined to revolutionize education worldwide.
Today Mrs. Howard and more than 300 employees provide curriculum
for an international network of nearly 7,000 schools in over
a hundred twenty countries.*
Basic Laws of Learning
The School of Tomorrow educational concept
is built on five laws of learning...
|
Students must be at individual levels
where they can perform. |
|
Reasonable goals must be set. |
|
Students must be controlled and motivated. |
|
Learning must be measurable. |
|
Learning must be rewarded. |
Working from these principles, this curriculum
assures parents of:
|
A solid, back-to-basics education for
their children |
|
A course of study diagnostically individualized
to meet a child's specific needs and learning capabilities |
|
A program incorporating character-building
and wisdom principles |
|
A curriculum using advanced computer technology
to help ensure the finest education possible in today's
high-tech climate |
