Membership Fees and Costs

Supporting parents in fulfilling their God-ordained role, through homeschooling their children, is our key focus. We are a very dedicated, enthusiastic and experienced team who support families across the South Pacific region, including Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and other countries. All of the services mentioned in our Services page are available to all member families.

Access to one-on-one support from our team means access to experienced homeschooling parents and educators who have personally used the A.C.E. resources. 

We offer assistance with meeting government requirements in the different states/territories in Australia and with the MoE in New Zealand. We provide detailed information and assist parents in putting together learning programs/plans that meet the requirements, using the A.C.E. Resources, as well as ideas to supplement this.

We provide new families with a Parent Training Kit, which explains everything you need to know about getting a homeschooling area setup, how to use the A.C.E. resources and the assessment processes as well.  We have a myriad of resources on our website that you can source for academic support, as well as call us with any general questions you may have. If academic support is required, we can recommend a good tutor to you.

Additional Costs to Consider

Cost of A.C.E. Resources

This will vary depending on the level your child is studying at. The ongoing costs for PACE workbooks, per child, is roughly between $200-$350 AUD per quarter/term. This is approx. between $800-$$1,200 AUD per year. Please note that each child requires their own copy of each PACE workbook to complete. Reusing or making copies violates copyright laws. PACE Score Keys can be used per family, for subsequent children. However, these may need replacing when updated by A.C.E..

These costs are influenced by freight charges, exchange rate fluctuations, and extra resources that you may want or need as well as the PACE workbooks.

Cancellation of Membership

For families wanting to withdraw, following their initial 12-month commitment period, cancellation of membership must be made in writing via email or registered letter. We request one (1) month's notice of this, prior to the renewal date (end of June or end of December).

Please note that for any child with a registered graduate certificate study pathway, your family must remain a member with us for the full duration of their studies, until they complete their certificate. Families who cancel their membership, or are withdrawn due to overdue fees, forfeit their child’s ability to obtain the graduate certificate they are registered for. This is a member only service.
