Homeschool Programs for K-12 Students

Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) Curriculum:
MCA has chosen to use the A.C.E. curriculum. This curriculum is written in small work/text booklets called PACEs. Most PACEs are generally from twenty-seven to forty-three pages in length. There are twelve PACEs in each subject to complete a year’s work. The student works in five subjects at the time, so they complete sixty PACEs each year. The curriculum is Biblical, self-instructional, individualized, and academically sound.

Students learn at their own speed. The PACEs introduce one concept at a time, and each concept is visualized and illustrated by examples. As you move your student through each activity, he/she has the opportunity to go back over the information and examples until it is totally understood.

Parent/Supervisor Training:
The key to success is training. MCA's parent-training booklet provides step-by-step procedures to having a successful homeschool experience. This is a practical "how to" manual, showing you how to use the curriculum, and how to work with the staff at MCA. From this training, parents will learn of additional motivational tools, field trip ideas, suggested daily procedures, goal setting, answer key use, extra services of MCA, and additional courses.
