Southern Cross Educational Enterprises Ltd (SCEE) is a not for profit charitable ministry, registered in Queensland and established for the purpose of promoting and facilitating Biblical education around the South Pacific region.
SCEE is the South Pacific Area Office for Accelerated Christian Education, a Biblical, mastery learning programme providing for Kindergarten and Preschool right through year 12 (year 13 in some regions).
The South Pacific region comprises those countries that could, loosely, be described as south of the equator and from Indonesia in the West to the Islands of Polynesia in the East. Countries in the South Pacific Region which currently have schools using the ACE Curriculum are (from West to East):
| Indonesia |
Australia |
Papua New Guinea |
Solomon Islands |
Nauru |
Vanuatu |
New Zealand |
Tuvalu |
Fiji |
Cook Islands |
As of May, 2009, there are some 187 registered schools operating within the region comprising about 15,000 students.
Within Australia, schools choosing to use the ACE curriculum materials within their educational program are required to be registered with their respective education authorities and have therefore been able to satisfactorily demonstrate that their content and methodology meets State and National registration requirements. More information can be obtained by viewing the Educational Services Department section of this website.
SCEE provides school service visits and runs annual educators’ conferences and student conventions around the South Pacific region. More information on these services can be obtained by viewing the School Services Department section of this website.
The Board of Directors of SCEE all serve voluntarily in that role with the exception of the Managing Director / CEO who is employed to oversee the operations of the Ministry and maintain appropriate relationships with regional and global partners.
