As far as your questions regarding ACE, I will do my best to answer them. You might also be able to get in contact with them through their website to check about all the particulars regarding graduating your child(ren).

You can certainly use ACE all the way through their homeschooling career and graduate with it. There are several ways to go about doing that – whether just by using the PACEs or by joining their online accredited school.

For parental requirements, there are as many as you would like to have! I know that sounds like an ambiquious way to answer the question – but, with ACE, it’s really true. The curriculum is designed to be self-study – meaning the child can come to his PACEs all by himself (assuming he/she can read) and complete his work for the day. You would have to go through some explanation of the system at the beginning of the year. But, once they understand what is expected, much of their work can be completed on their own. I always set aside an hour or so to go over lessons with my son. I think kids need more direction than just sitting by themselves doing the work.

Regarding who to contact for field trips – I would recommend that you look up your local homeschooling group. Ask around – especially other moms and kids that you see at the library during the day. It is likely that they are homeschoolers too and may know about any groups in your area. Check online – google your city and state along with “homeschool group” and see what you find. I have lots of connections through my church – if you belong to a church, ask the other moms if they know of any groups.

I hope my answers have been helpful! Please let me know if you have any other questions! I’d love to be a blessing to your family!
Sincerely
Jennifer
