Home schoolers?

yes ACE has NZ social studies ( and Australian - different PACE's.) and metric (NZ coinage too) maths as well.

frankly its harder to do a year 13 ACE cert than it is to do the NCEA 3 standards. I could fly thru the unit requirements for level 3 but there is no way I could manage all of the ACE stuff.

The university chancellors office accepts ACE year 13 as non provisional enrollment.

I have to import it from Aussie though **giggle** Oh and the principal of our cover school has juxtaposed the ACE curric agaisnt the NZ standard - it beats it hands down. If I ever need to I can access that and use it to back up what I am doing with the children. - I would, under NZ law, never need to do this.

RR - we are in Wellington, but well out round the bays So a little cut off from the city but we love it. Of course it means David's day is going to be VERY long from the time he leaves in the morning to getting home in the evening.

I guess we're not officially a homeschooling family yet as our daughter just turned three but we plan to be. We do a little bit of "book learning" but mostly right now just try to incorporate learning into our day to day activities. We are still just looking into the different approaches and deciding on which one to take.

I have homeschooled for two years. I have been 'unschooling', however I think my youngest needs a little more structure. I am trying Life pacs. I am considering ACE.

I've done both life pacs and ace.

there are advantages to both
