The students must take a Diagnostic Test. Students using the A.C.E. curriculum for the first time take the free ace-connect Diagnostic Test to evaluate where they are performing academically and to prescribe where they should start. Whether students are transferring to a school using the curriculum or are from a homeschooling family, the Diagnostic Test helps identify any “gaps” in a student’s education. PACEs are then assigned to help the student continue his educational journey. |

| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
“School of Tomorrow” is the first private school in Georgia. It was founded in 1992. The School simultaneously offers two study programs: Georgian and American. After graduating from the school we provide you with a Georgian secondary education certificate and an American K12 diploma. The Georgian curriculum is authorized by the Ministry of Education and Science on the way to full accreditation. American program of the "School of Tomorrow” is based on Dr. R. Howard’s curriculum, which aims to identify and develop the intellectual abilities of children. By 1974, more than 500 schools across the U.S. had implemented the program. The first international school using the A.C.E. curriculum opened in 1974 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. However, throughout the years, separate warehouses opened in Australia, the Philippines, Africa, Russia, the United Kingdom, and some of the European Union (EU) countries, for example, Spain, Austria, etc. Today A.C.E. serves more than 6,000 schools and countless homeschool families around the globe. Our American Program has two International Accreditation

| Teaching approach of the school |
What makes A.C.E. different from other curriculum providers is its individualized, self-instructional, mastery-based approach. PACEs allow students to absorb subject material at their own pace rather than being forced to learn at a pace set by a teacher in a classroom environment. Instead of being labeled by a chronological grade, each student may advance according to individual learning abilities. For instance, a student placed in the fifth grade in a traditional school setting may be taking varying levels of PACEs in the A.C.E. system. This same student could be taking Level 4 math, Level 5 science, and Level 5 English. Students may move ahead in some subject areas and proceed at a slower pace in others. American program contains a course in Phonetics lasting for four months; it begins in the first grade. Upon finishing the course, the following subjects are taught: Science, Social studies, English, Word Building, and Mathematics. For Georgian students, it is not obligatory to study Mathematics in English as in this field the school gives priority to the program developed by the Ministry of Education of Georgia. Learning material is written in a language the child can understand easily. There is one supervisor (similar to the headteacher in the Georgian program) and several monitors in the learning center, who help each student individually in problem-solving. It is worth mentioning that such an individual approach facilitates the integration of children with special needs in the educational process. It allows the students to discover and develop their talents and skills. |
