Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) is a US-origin, individualised and mastery-based Christian curriculum. Pupils work through self-instructional booklets called PACEs (Packets of Accelerated Christian Education) at their own pace, mastering each unit before moving on, supervised in a learning-centre setting. It runs from the early years through high school.

ACE leads to the International Certificate of Christian Education (ICCE), issued at General, Intermediate and Advanced levels, alongside the ACE high-school diploma. ICCE Advanced is benchmarked to A-Level standard and is accepted by many universities internationally.

ICCE and the ACE diploma are accepted by a range of universities worldwide. For Ugandan public universities the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) assesses foreign qualifications case by case, and many ACE leavers progress through the ICCE Advanced level or onto international university routes.

ACE schools span a wide range. Because the model is workbook-based and runs in small supervised groups rather than large taught classes, tuition is often more modest than the Cambridge and IB flagships, though PACE materials and learning-centre supervision add to the cost.
