ACE provides educational materials as part of their Christian ministry.
ACE stands for Accelerated Christian Education. ACE, based in Tennessee, has helped to build schools in the United States and around the world to educate young people with a Christian fundamentalist focus. As part of its ministry, ACE provides Christian educational materials and blueprints, advice and training to start schools. You can start a school in your home or through your church.
Instructions
1. Request preliminary information from the ACE on its school website. A free information packet will be sent to you by mail or email. Call or make a request online for the information.
2. Call or email the office of the Ministry of Education to set a date for ACE to make a presentation of the program for your group. This presentation will help to give you an idea of what is involved in starting a school, and representatives will be there to answer any questions you may have.
3. Return and sign the application form and mail it to Ministry Development in Nashville.
4. Attend training for administrators. For this you must make an appointment with ACE. This will give you a more detailed view of starting an ACE school and train you for the purpose.
5. Design a layout for your classroom with appropriate student furniture. Use information from the ACE Administration Manual to do this. Look in particular at the Furniture Drawings section for help in building student computer stations and student offices.
6. Prepare to open your school by meeting with your staff to create school policies and a student handbook, meeting with students and parents and administering diagnostic tests to new students. Also, order staff-training materials and curriculum and plan in-service training for staff members.
7. Open your school. Ongoing educators' training is available as well as many other resources. Contact the ACE School-Start Specialists.
