Curriculum
Curriculums for Acellus Learning Systems are developed by the International Academy of Science in conjunction with Acellus Labs. The math courses integrate the standards set forth in the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. ) Some courses are available in English and Spanish versions. Some Hispanic students have the challenge of needing a good foundation in English in order to comprehend mathematics. Acellus overcomes this challenge by combining the two languages in a stimulating but non-impeding way.
The following courses are currently available:
- FUNdamental Math (English/Spanish versions) -- designed using the NCTM standards for students of high school and college age who desire to go on to college but have not acquired the basic skills in fundamental mathematics to be able to pursue a college program.
