     WCA switches curriculum after the second grade.  Students 3rd grade through 12th grade use the highly innovative, individualized A.C.E. curriculum, known globally as "School of Tomorrow."  A.C.E. stands for "Accelerated Christian Education."  The A.C.E. program is a solid, mastery-based, back-to-basics educational program.  The course of study is diagnostically individualized to meet a student's specific learning needs and capabilities.  After diagnosis, the program adapts to the learning speed of each child allowing them to progress individually rather than as a group.  The curriculum incorporates Scripture, Godly character building, and wisdom principles into each subject and also uses advanced computer technology to help ensure the finest education possible in today's high-tech climate.
