Vermont's K-12 formula for Student Success

  • Traditional Education System - Like runners in a race, students are ready to race thru the school year. At the end of the year some succeed, some not so much
  • The Vermont Method - Students excel, in all subjects because they are not tested until they are ready. This inshures student success at every level.
  • Individualized Learning Plan - Students are diagnosed in all academic subjects, then an Individualized Learning Plan is created.

Vermont Strong Students become profficient in all subjects because attention is given by teachers to to any gaps that might exist in their academics.

Vermont's K-12 Individualized Learning Plan

Vermonts Formula for Success

Kids learn to read, write, compute and about God's infallable word. We can trust the Bible to truly communicate to us what God wants us to believe and how God wants us to live. To ignore or disobey the teachings of Scripture is to contradict its infallibility, which puts us on a completely different theological path altogether..

One of the tools we use in the Vermont Method is the ACE Goal Card.


To effectively use the ACE (Accelerated Christian Education) goal card, students write their daily goals, typically page numbers for each subject. After completing a goal, they draw a diagonal line through the goal showing they have completed the goal. The completed goal card is then displayed prominently for both the student and supervisor to track progress.
