THE ACE METHOD
At an ACE EdVenture School, parents and students can expect to embark on this ACE cycle with us as new real-world trends and demands surface. At the heart of it, this is also an entrepreneurial way of navigating the world that we actively impart to our students.
We ADAPT to current and future industry trends to CREATE ecosystems and curate education EXPERIENCES that anchor and impact your children’s skills acquisition and learning for life. This results in an educational experience that maximises your children’s learning, growth, and human potential.
EVERY SURFACE IS A CANVAS
Who says lessons have to be confined in classrooms?
The same four walls for 8 hours a day can be stifling. We like getting creative with our learning: sitting, standing, in the corridors, on the floors, in the labs, out at the water park! Every space is a learning space and every surface is a canvas for learning! This is especially great for visual and kinaesthetic learners.
PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION
We push our students to grow beyond their limitations!
Expecting perfection of them is unrealistic. Instead, we strive for progress. We stand by our students through their journey with us, giving them feedback and the opportunity to upgrade their work. Whether it’s an improvement from a D to C, or A to A*, every win is worth celebrating with our students.
REVERSE ENGINEERING
As educators, we continue to educate ourselves on where the future is heading and tweak our delivery to nurture future-proof skills such as self-discipline, adaptability, initiative, cognitive flexibility, and decision-making.
This way, we know we’re always preparing students for their future.
YOUNG PEOPLE PASSIONATE ABOUT EDUCATION
Most of our teachers are young, and unapologetically so! Being young and passionate about education, our teachers can connect and relate to our students as their role models.
It’s not unusual to see teachers and students hanging out together during breaks. The boundaries are still clear of course, and this mutual respect enhances learning in the classroom as teachers are in a better position to guide and coach students to progress.
KEEPING IT RELEVANT
As a student, did you ever wonder why you were learning something, only to realise its use later in life? When we teach, we like to give our students the big-picture view of what they are learning. Imagine this: A teacher takes his class on a jog through the corridors, telling them to pay attention to the sensations they feel as they slow down or take the corners. This leads to discussions of the concepts of Momentum and Inertia in Physics, how it applies in their lives and beyond.
TRAINED TO FIT OUR TEACHING STYLE
All our teachers go through our very own ACE EdVenture Training Programme that has been developed in-house. The training derived from the success we’ve had in impacting students for past 20 years and flows from our founders’ teaching experience.
Our training programme not only focuses on subject delivery, but also on how to build a class culture – where every teacher is able to embody the ACE EdVenture culture and teaching standards are maintained across the board
THROWING OUT THE BOX
“Think outside the box”. We hear that all the time. Well, we’ve gone ahead and thrown out that box”. We are constantly thinking up new ways to get students excited and engaged about topics. A lot of these ideas are implemented in class coursework. Coursework has been a staple of our approach since the beginning.
