ACE Homeschool Curriculum Question: Can You Help Me Figure This Out?

ACE Homeschool Curriculum Questions
My son is 12 yrs old and in grade 6. Due to the "no child left behind" policy, he can fail a whole grade and still get bumped to the next grade the next year. He fails tests and goes on to the next chapter without having to redo and learn properly. For instance, I recently had to show him how to add and subtract right. This made me realize how badly our public schools are failing him. How can I figure out what his REAL grade level is? Because it is sure not grade 6! I am wanting to pull him and either start homeschooling or find a private school in Regina Saskatchewan, Canada, which uses the ACE curriculum. How do I get started? Is it expensive? And how would I know what PACE level to start him in? Hi Corlene, How frustrated you must feel about your son’s situation! You can find out where you would need to start your son in the ACE homeschool curriculum by using the ACE online diagnostic test. Once your son completes this test, you will know exactly what PACES to start him in. ACE homeschool curriculum is quite reasonably priced – about $35 - $40 (US) or so per subject and you can purchase individual PACES. If your son needs to start halfway through a course, you won't waste money by having to buy the whole course. You can buy just PACES he needs. This curriculum is also easy for independent home educators to use and oversee their student’s home education. As far as private Christian schools using the ACE/PACES curriculum in your area, try Harvest City Christian Academy, in Regina (http://www.harvestcitychristianacademy.com). Hope this helps!
