I’ve been using A.C.E. from the beginning (fall 2020) and I tried some Abeka and another, but except for reading I’ve totally been doing A.C.E.. I’ve questioned recently if the reading is adequate enough in learning types of writing etc., and was thinking of doing BJU for 5th grade. Thanks for sharing this video.

Thanks for sharing your story. We have used BJUPress over 18 years with six kids. The multiple assignments given by the teachers is created for different learning styles. The homeschool teachers plan the lessons for homeschool children in mind, not for Christian schools. All of my children all learn differently so we could pick out the assignments that fit their learning styles. I hope you give it another try in the future. :)

We don't use ACE Math. It was not working for us. We use all ACE now, except Math. We use CLE Math and have been for 2 years now and loving it. The company is actually called " Christian Light Education" so you can look them up online. They have sample pages you can look at for all their subjects. So you would be able to see what I am referring to in Bible and then see their Math! I hope that helps! 🙂

My daughter is doing all 7 subjects of ACE - 3rd grade and this is our first year Homeschooling. My question is how are y'all finishing the Paces in 3 weeks? She's flying through the Bible ones (we do those together), but we do a 5 day work week and I had to split her schedule up: M-W-F: Math, W.B, English, Bible Tu-Thu: Bible, Science, S.S, Lit. We are doing 4 pages in each Pace a day. Are your kids doing 7 subjects a day?
@dimockfamily8685
@dimockfamily8685 Жыл бұрын
We changed things up this year. My kids do 4 pages a day in each subject. Last year we did all subjects. We do school M-F. To finish a book in 3 weeks. You take the total number of pages in the book and divide it by 14 (15 school days in 3 weeks, but minus 1 day for the final test) that will tell you how many pages you need to do a day in that PACE to be able to finish in 3 weeks. I hope that makes sense. This year we are doing Math, Litature/Creative writing, WB, English as individual lessons and then we do something else for science and history together as a group since my kids are so close in age and it's working great! I'm so excited for you! I hope you have a wonderful year!!! We are loving our homeschool journey and so thankful I get to see my kids progress and learn new things!!

She tested positive for dyslexia but on the minor end. I feel 7 subjects for her is ALOT to do in one day. I want her to learn and digest the information not just get through the work just to get through it if that makes sense. I am about to put her in an outside tutoring source for math and reading.

Thank you for doing this video. You are correct when you said there are not many videos for ACE, not may positive ones at least. We have been homeschooling for about 21 years. We have used many curriculums in the past and time and time again, we went back to ACE. We now have one left in school and we will never change curriculums again. All that you described about ACE is absolutely correct. ABEKA and BJU (and others) are great, solid, curriculums as well as some of the specific subject curriculums. What I have found is that we felt like the tail was wagging the dog. The curriculum runs the homeschool. We can easily put way too much focus on all the fluff of the high dollar material. The wonderful thing about ACE is being able to customize it to seasons in life. Some seasons you have time to add extra learning with the curriculum and some seasons you don't, like when your dad was sick. ACE allows the child to get their core basics done in those seasons because of independent learning and being able to put it in a clipboard and take it where ever you go. There is so much more to homeschool than an elaborate curriculum with all the bells and whistles. Also, I, as well as many that I know, have used ACE through high school with their children and they did great in College. It's not so much about the curriculum as it is also the learner (individual). I hope my comment will help others who may be having doubts. So much more I could add............

My son is 11 in 5th grade and really wants to be homeschooled! He was diagnosed ADHD at an early age and he really can't handle "long days" in school. I've talked to a LOT of parents that homeschool.. about how you can do a few hours here and there and take breaks. I plan to.. hopefully.. get out in the world and experience things. A kind of "hands on" situation for him. Yes, I only have one boy. My pastor is trying to talk to me about Abeka. His wife homeschooled all four kids with it. I'm hesitant. I follow Missionary Spencer Smith and he mentioned ACE. Missionary Spencer Smith helped me find my church. I might go with that.

I do highly recommend over a curriculum with a huge work load. My boys did Abeka when they went to a local private school for 1 year. I knew whenever I started homeschooling I would not be using it! 😊

I was on his Live the other night and the chat talked about homeschool and many of the parents told me to check out Abeka. I’m thinking A.C.E., though.

​@@Christ_in_ChristyI'm one full year into ACE. I hope PBI takes ACE graduates. I was recently on the fence about it and possibly going to a Christian school. They teach Abeka. My son doesn't ever want to do too much work. Quite honestly... school is about reading, writing and arithmetic. Everything else is life skills and gravy! I don't want to sweat it. Seriously wondering how things are going with the OP family. I do structure my sons schooling with the score cards. We "negotiate" getting the work done. I have no problem with that. I don't let him score it himself. I like that it is an "on the go" schooling.

I have kind of fought using ACE and have tried several "good" curriculums. No complaints, it just didn't quite work. He is now 6th grade and I will be using ACE next year and bumping him up to Highschool. I absolutely hated ACE math growing up.

We are just beginning our 3rd year of homeschool and I'm strongly considering switching to ACE. We tried Abeka when he was in K and I loved it but it felt too rigid somehow. We are believers so a Christian curriculum is a huge bonus and I need something very cost effective. I was homeschooled in the 80s and I *think *we used ACE, not positive but I know it was workbooks and looked just like these! I'm thinking I'll go ahead and order maybe 4 paces at a time and see how it goes!
