PROGRAM FOR ACHIEVING CHARACTER EDUCATION
PACE
for Non-Denominational Christians
"It's not always easy to teach a child the difference between right and wrong, but stories - whether they are based on fantasy or rooted in real life - can speak to children more eloquently than any list of dos or don'ts, and can impart moral values as they nurture a child's imagination." – William Kilpatrick
Manual
The Non-Denominational Christian PACE manual offers the resources and benefits of the original PACE curriculum to all of our brothers and sisters in Christ.
​
In an age of intolerance and fracture, it is essential that we remember what unites us as Christians: a deep respect for ourselves and each other, which is the cornerstone of Character Education!
​
Like the rest of the PACE curriculum, this version is an open-ended, flexible resource that can be incorporated into existing lesson plans. It and its supporting materials can be studied in any order, by multiple students concurrently, and for as many months of the year as desired.
​
And—you only have to buy the manual once! The PACE manual can be used for seven consecutive years with multiple students, which works out to ~$4 per year for the whole family!
​Price = just $30.95 (+ shipping)!​
*NOTE: The PACE workbooks DO NOT correspond to the Non-Denominational Christian PACE manual.*
