The resources cover kindergarten (pre-Grade 1) to Year 12

There is a gradual increase in difficulty with constant revision. This is a highly efficient method of long-term memory retention.

Students like the routine of the familiar format in each subject. Routine and repetition are especially helpful for students that have struggled academically.

Our program contains cartoons and amusing stories where the characters are role models for your children.

As your children grow, so do the characters in the stories. Your children will learn to love Ace, Christi, Sandy, Pudge and many others who all have their own individual strengths and weaknesses.

The academic work is often completed early, usually before lunch for primary aged children, which leaves plenty of time for creative arts in the afternoon.

Your child will be given diagnostic testing so that our tutors will be able to prescribe the academic work which, is most suitable for your child. This way, your child will be achieving at a level which, is neither too hard nor too easy. They will have immediate success, which will bring confidence and a love for learning.

Our Word Building course extends from year 1 to year 8. This course looks at the etymology of words, examining their Latin and Greek roots.

While the Bible and Biblical thinking is integral to every subject, we also have a number of subjects, which specifically focus on Scripture. These include, Bible reading in primary school and Successful Living (Proverbs), New and Old Testament Survey and Life of Christ.

In many ways students who complete the full program have already done a first year program at a Bible college.

A child spends less than four minutes in one-one interactions with a teacher in the average school day. This is insufficient for helping a child in understanding concepts and improving speech and vocabulary.

At home with ACE, child-parent interactions are part of the program. Typically a child will have 30-40 interactions with their parent each day, which builds relationship and understanding.

The ACE course is strong in grammar. Students learn parts of speech, punctuation, sentence and paragraph construction. These skills are essential to writing well and professionally.

ACE is an acronym for Accelerated Christian Education. This means that a child who is gifted will not be held back by the class average and is able to proceed at a much faster rate. Some students are able to complete their course years ahead of their chronological age and attend online universities at age 14 or 15.

One of the great features of ACE is that it is self-instructional. This means the students get in the habit of reading, understanding and interpreting the material themselves. This is the primary method of learning.

Only when a student struggles to grasp a concept will he or she need to refer to a parent or tutor from HSWA for support.

This also means that you as a parent spend more time encouraging and supervising than explaining.

The ACE program is designed to build character in your children. With 60 character traits that are found in Scripture, like attentive, kind and truthful, our program will help your child to grow in favour with God and man.

As the program is self-instructional and requires minimal lesson preparation, it leaves the parent time to attend to younger children and other household tasks. Good supervision can still be undertaken while engaged in other activities in the same room.

Many parents are anxious about commencing home education. However with our program, you will have minimal lesson preparation and you will have confidence that your child is receiving an excellent education. Furthermore, our staff will support you and you will have opportunities to support each other through Facebook and informal parent networking groups.

We believe that self-correction is an essential part of the learning process. At schools students often get lazy and expect the teacher to mark and correct their work. With ACE, the students are responsible for marking their own work with full solutions provided in answer keys. This not only greatly reduces the marking parents are required to do but also helps children to understand where they went wrong.

They learn to work out their own mistakes rather than rely on a teacher all the time. They are more likely to remember the correct way of doing something if they have discovered the solution themselves. This is a valuable skill in preparation for university and beyond.

There are numerous checks where the parent is able to check for understanding. The Self-test and final assessment at the end of each PACE or workbook, ensures that your child will know and understand their work.

Unlike being at a school you will, at all times, be aware of your child’s progress and will not have to wait for a fairly bland semester report from paid employees who will never know or love your child as well as you do.

There is no need to be concerned about the literature books that your child will read as all of the books have a Biblical worldview and avoid topics that are unsuitable for children.

In a similar manner, a child who has learning difficulties can go at a slower rate; thereby ensuring he or she is not pushed beyond their level of understanding. Many a child has succeeded academically, though it may have taken a year or two longer than most. At home this is not an issue.
