ACE Pace's are structured to include all three levels of the learning process: knowledge, understanding and wisdom. ACE INDIVIDUALIZED CURRICULUM PACEs The ACE PACEs are structured to include all three levels of the learning process: knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. The ACE individualized curriculum has been very carefully compiled to introduce children to concrete and abstract reasoning skills at appropriate age levels in conjunction with maturation stages. Editors and writers were careful to develop PACEs with meticulously chosen vocabulary that spiralled from simple to complex, from concrete to abstract, as students progress from first grade through graduation. Before adolescence, children learn in curriculum (PACEs) that presents each new concept five to seven times line upon line, precept upon precept; focus is on how and why. This is referred to as the understanding dimension of life. Junior and senior high students learn not only facts (knowledge) but also how those facts relate to culture, science, and history (understanding). Another, and perhaps the chief distinctive of ACE curriculum is its focus on wisdom whereas most curriculum publishers focus on knowledge (facts and information), and whereas some publishers include understanding (relationship of information), ACE curriculum is distinctive in its inclusion of wisdom as a deliberate aspect of the learning process.
