Individualized Learning through A.C.E.

Learners work through PACEs at a level guided by their demonstrated knowledge and skills.

Individualized Learning

An individual learning space for PACEs and daily goals.

A.C.E. School of Tomorrow

A Bible-based international programme.

A.C.E. has been used by schools and homeschools internationally for more than four decades.

At Inspire, each learner works with bite-size curriculum booklets called PACEs in a spacious learning area. From Grade 1, learners set daily goals with support from a Supervisor or Monitor, developing ownership and healthy work habits.

How mastery is demonstrated

PACEs include short checkups and a Self Test. A learner who scores 90% or above on the Self Test proceeds to the PACE Test; 80% or above demonstrates mastery. A repeat PACE helps address identified learning gaps.

Five laws of learning

Learning that is focused, measurable and rewarding.

01

The student must be on a curriculum level where they can perform.

02

The student sets achievable goals to complete in a prescribed period.

03

The student is controlled and motivated to assimilate, use or experience academic material.

04

The student’s learning must be measurable.

05

The student’s learning must be rewarded.

Literacy & diagnosis

Reading culture and the Mama Africa Book Box.

Book reading and writing are supported through Mama Africa Book Box from Grade 1 to Grade 12.

The A.C.E. Diagnostic Test helps determine a learner's academic needs in core subjects. Mathematics, English, Reading and Spelling are assessed; learners who score 94% and above are placed at a Grade Level that meets and challenges their performance.

Progression and recognition

Progression and ICCE certification.

At Grade 12 (A level), a learner is awarded the International Certificate of Christian Education (ICCE) from the United Kingdom. The supplied school information says A.C.E. results are equated by UNEB for local university admission in Uganda.
