The Core Curriculum, Which includes the six basic academic disciplines that provide students with these essential educational needs:  

           Math
           English
           Literature and Creative Writing
           Social Studies
           Science
           Word Building (Spelling)

   Each subject contains 156 PACEs beginning with preschool and ending with level 12. 

   Exceptions are math (which contains 144 PACEs), Word Building (which concludes with level 9), and Literature and Creative Writing (which begins with level two and will conclude with level 8.)

   Each curriculum level course consists of 12 PACEs. Normally students complete a minimum of 60 PACEs each in one academic year; however, this varies according to the students' abilities. Students normally keep academic balance in the subjects in which they are working and complete about the same number of PACEs in each subject.  

   Students who are more skilled may progress at a faster rate or may accelerate in the areas of their academic strengths. Slower students are encouraged to do their best, but are able to work on their levels of proficiency and proceed as they are capable.

Note: Typical students work daily on one PACE at a time in each of the six subjects. The PACEs may be on varying levels, according to the students' achievement in each subject and according to their academic prescriptions based on their diagnostic test results.
