At the heart of every educational journey is the community it builds, and nothing proves that more than our incredible A.C.E. Alumni. At the beginning of March, it was a true honour to host an exclusive Alumni event in Jakarta for our Indonesian graduates.
Why We Value Our A.C.E. Alumni
Celebrating our graduates is about more than just a reunion; it’s about honoring the “long game” of character-based education. These events allow us to witness the remarkable individuals our students become. From entrepreneurs to community leaders, the impact of the A.C.E. program is visible in every success story.
Highlights from Jakarta
The Jakarta gathering was a vibrant exchange of shared history and diverse futures. Graduates swapped stories of “Pace” deadlines and favorite supervisors, proving that the bond of an A.C.E. education lasts a lifetime.

This event was just the beginning. We are committed to fostering this community across the region. We encourage you to visit the Accelerated Christian Education official site to see how our global curriculum continues to shape lives.
Keep an eye out for more events, and stay tuned to hear more stories from our A.C.E. Alumni across the region!
The Jakarta Educators Conference 2026 was a powerful event. This year, we met for a clear reason. We want to grow Christ-centered education in this nation. Consequently, as the event ends, we feel very grateful.
A Theme That Anchors Us: Righteous in Christ
The main idea of the Jakarta Educators Conference 2026 was "Righteous in Christ." It is easy to rely on our own skill when we are busy. However, this event reminded us of a simple truth. Our strength and our hope come from Jesus alone.
Highlights from the Jakarta Educators Conference 2026
The energy all week was great. Specifically, we felt a strong sense of unity during worship and learning.
Mastery Learning: Many talks at the Jakarta Educators Conference 2026 focused on "Mastery Learning." This helps us reach the heart of every student.
New Friends:Furthermore, it was a joy to see A.C.E. teachers from many areas. We talked about our wins and our hard times.
A Big Vision: We stood with leaders who want kids to grow. Therefore, we want to reach "Stronger, Deeper, and Higher."
Moving Forward
In conclusion, we leave the Jakarta Educators Conference 2026 with fresh hope. Thank you to every teacher who came. You are building a bright future for your kids.
Finally, let’s take this joy back to our schools. We do this work because we are made Righteous in Christ.
Imagine yourself standing in front of a signpost. There are signs pointing in nearly every direction and as you stand there, you have to make a choice about which direction you are going to take. When you are faced with this immediate and seemingly overwhelming challenge, it feels like a wrong choice can ruin your life.
This is what leaving school can feel like for a number of our students. Some of our students know exactly what they want to do when they leave school – they are going on to full-time work, tertiary study, or vocational study. They’ve stood at the signpost and made a decision. Just over half of these students will go on to do exactly as they had planned – the others will encounter setbacks, such as not being accepted into their chosen course of study, or will try their chosen pathway for a while before deciding that it really isn’t what they want to do with their lives.
Change can be wonderful. It can also be terrifying. Leaving school would have to rank as one of the biggest life changes that our students will experience. So how do we prepare them for a successful transition from the ordered world of school to the busy-bustling world of making decisions that is life after school?
One of the ways that we can help our students make a successful transition from school to life after school is to prepare them. Students can become so fixated on finishing their last test that they cannot see the bigger picture. They need us to help them see the bigger picture – leaving school is another step forward in the journey of life. By encouraging our students to think and dream about life after they have finished school and by engaging them in discussions about their fears, thoughts and dreams, we can help prepare our students for what happens next. The support and discussion is invaluable but intangible – students can’t produce the discussion they had with you to support their job application.
About two thirds of graduating students do not have a CV or resume prepared when they leave school. The one third that does have a CV or resume has one they prepared to get a part-time job in their senior years of schooling and haven’t updated it for quite some time. One of the simplest ways we can prepare our students for life after school is to equip them with the necessary paperwork for surviving the adult world. They need to know what a CV is, what a resume is but more than that, they need to have their own CV or resume prepared, ready to be used to help them achieve their goals of further study or employment.
I went searching for tools to help students prepare their CV and resumes. There was a lot of advice – much of it contradictory and often aimed at someone who has at least a little bit of work experience. I could find very few resources that helped a student fresh out of school put together their CV. I could find no resources that helped a student fresh out of school create their CV and incorporate a Biblical worldview. So we created one. We have developed a Biblical worldview resource that will help your student or child to prepare and write a CV, resume, cover letter and references. The unit covers subject matter such as online presence in social media and networking, integrity, mentoring, work experience, achievements, volunteering and extracurricular activities.
