Our Commitment to Families
At Accelerate Christian Home Schooling, a ministry of Accelerate Educational Ministries (AEM), our heart is to come alongside families as they embrace the God-given calling to educate and disciple their children at home. We recognise that home education is far more than academics—it is the shaping of character, faith, purpose, and a lifelong love of learning within the family.
Our role is not to replace parents, but to support, equip, encourage, and walk alongside you with practical tools, academic guidance, and Christ-centred encouragement throughout your homeschooling journey. We believe the most effective home education happens when families work together with our support team, through clear communication, shared responsibility, and a mutual commitment to helping each of their children reach their God-given potential.
The following outlines our commitment to you as a support service and ministry, and your responsibilities as the parent and primary educator of your child/ren, while you homeschool.
Our Commitment
We agree to:
- Communicate with you professionally and personally, keeping you informed through phone, email updates, our website information, and regular newsletters.
- Support you in practical aspects of home education, including ordering materials, administering and scoring tests, and understanding procedures.
- Maintain accurate academic records and provide timely end-of-semester Progress Reports.
- Provide thorough initial and ongoing training, with updated training materials, videos, and personal support whenever you need clarification about A.C.E. procedures.
- Assist with home education registration requirements by providing guidance, examples, ideas and feedback on draft education programs where requested.
- Work with you to develop the best study pathway for your child, beginning with diagnostic testing and personalised academic recommendations.
- Help your secondary children plan for their future, assisting families to choose certificate pathways suited to their desired employment, vocational training, or higher education goals.
- Support families navigating learning difficulties and additional needs, including the option for access to materials that will support children showing signs of dyslexia and/or dysgraphia (subject to terms and conditions).
- Celebrate each child’s achievements, character development and diligence over the year, with a special celebration of graduating students, with the opportunity to do this in-person or online.
- Continue expanding and improving our resources and services to better support families in their homeschooling journey.
