Morning Star Academy in Kimbe, West New Britain Province, has successfully concluded a vital 5-day Staff Enrichment Workshop (SEW), reinforcing its commitment to delivering high-quality Accelerated Christian Education (ACE).

Accelerated Christian Education is the philosophy of learning and within that philosophy, ACE’s core objective is to produce the best academic results by implementing the best tactics and procedures for individualized learning.

The workshop, spearheaded by the school's director and ACE Trainer of Trainees, Mrs. Regina Nalo, alongside Mr. Nalo, was designed to enhance the skills of both staff and student leaders. It delved into the foundational principles and procedures of the ACE curriculum, offering a comprehensive professional development course for educators and administrators.

Key topics covered included the distinct philosophy of ACE, its emphasis on Biblical Worldview Education, Mastery-Based Learning, Individualized Learning, and the "5 Golden Laws of Learning." Mrs. Nalo underscored the importance of these elements, particularly individualized learning, stating, "Accelerated Christian Education is the philosophy of learning and within that philosophy, ACE’s core objective is to produce the best academic results by implementing the best tactics and procedures for individualized learning."

This ACE curriculum, which differs significantly from the standard government education system, is a Biblically based, character-building program delivered through workbooks called PACEs. It caters to students from kindergarten through tertiary preparation. The workshop provided crucial training on operating ACE Learning Centers to ensure the curriculum's fidelity. Both staff and students expressed gratitude for the insights gained, with Principal Mr. Anasthasius Vucho noting the unique vocal approach of ACE teachers (supervisors) in imparting principles and character traits. From the perspective of the Post-Courier, this initiative highlights the dedication of educational institutions in Papua New Guinea to specialized learning approaches that foster holistic development.

By reviewing all points presented, I see that there are no other schools like ACE where teachers (also known as supervisors) are vocal in giving principles especially during morning inspiration and weekly biblical character traits.
