Just as students come in all shapes and sizes, their abilities and gifting come in different and varied measures. To offer every student the same, identical education on the same level of advancement is not good education. Some students need to advance more quickly than others. Some need a longer time to master a particular concept. Temple Education serves the student rather that the group.

Every student entering Temple Education Center begins by completing diagnostic tests in math, English Language Arts, and reading. It is the philosophy of the administration and staff of the school that you cannot best meets a student’s educational needs until you know what they are. Just as a doctor examines his patient before making a diagnosis and offering a prescription so Temple Education Center prescribes the educational program for each individual student based on the prescribed diagnosis determined by the tests administered.

Once the student has been diagnosed and placed in the correct curriculum, he or she then begins a journey through a program that will have effects for the rest of the student’s life. Each student sets goals every day under the direction of the teacher. The student’s courses are divided into unto called PAKS and the student sets goals for his daily work that will allow him to complete the PAK in two to three weeks. If the student works hard during the day and completes his goals while he is at school, he has no homework. A student’s goals are considered complete when he has finished, scored, and corrected every page of the goal.

Our program is a mastery-based program. When a student completes a PAK, he takes a test. 80% is the lowest passing score. Students scoring 80% or higher move to the next PAK in the course. When a student scores less than 80%, he is issued a repeat PAK so that it is insured that he master the material offered in the PAK.

One of the dynamic aspects of our program is that a student can actually complete more than one year’s material in one year. He can move at an accelerated pace and is never held back because the class or the teacher chooses to move slower than the student desires to move. Some students have actually completed high school prior to their seventh birthday.

Students find college less strenuous because they have actually learned to study within our system. In the past, some students coming from our system have actually earned a 4.0 all the way through college. Students completing this system of study have entered into every major profession in the workplace.
