ACE Curriculum
As the main academic program, Cornerstone utilizes ACE(Accelerated Christian Education) curriculum, which is a U.S. Christian curriculum used at SOT(School of Tomorrow). Over the past 40 years, SOT schools have steadily increased in size with over 8,000 schools spread worldwide housing over 1 million students. There are around 40 SOT schools throughout Indonesia besides Cornerstone Global Academy. Unlike conventional classrooms in which a teacher gives lessons to a group of students, the SOT program pursues “individualized, self-paced” learning. The students work through the 1-12 SOT textbooks designed for the students to lead their own studies with their own pace. Rather than writing down what the teacher says and taking tests on designated time periods, the students set their own study goals and individually ask for the teacher’s help when they are stuck in their studies, receiving 1-on-1 guidance in learning.
