A Word From Our Principal....

An important question to ask yourselves regarding your child's education is not necessarily what your child is being TAUGHT but rather what your child is LEARNING. At Apostolic Christian Academy, we orient more toward the philosophy of LEARNING rather than the philosophy of TEACHING. This learning technique focuses on the individual learner. After decades of development and evaluation, the academic philosophy of our curriculum can be summed up in the following "Five Laws of Learning":

How heavy is the load? The pupil must be placed on a level of curriulum where he can best perform.

How achievable is the goal? The pupil must set reasonable and appropriate goals which he can be expected to achieve in a reasonable period of time. This extends into adulthood.

How effective are the controls? The pupil must receive motivation through encouragement and support and achieve control through guidance and discipline in order to assimilate, use, and experience the educational material.

How does the student learn? The pupil's learning must have appropriate measurement applied to the results. ACA students take annual Stanford Tests to measure their academic knowledge.

How big is the reward? The pupil's learning must receive recognition and reward for its value, effort, and significance. Weekly privileges at ACA are earned with numerous rewards.

If you have not experienced the learning benefits of Apostolic Christian Academy, please call for an appointment to give your child academic excellence centered around Christ.
