What is a math acceleration program for 7th graders?+
A math acceleration program for 7th graders gives a ready student access to mathematics beyond the standard middle-school sequence. In this program, the focus is ACE Academy Geometry for students taking or having completed Algebra I, or students who demonstrate equivalent readiness. The course develops geometry, proof, spatial reasoning, and algebra–geometry connections. It is intended to support progression toward Honors Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, AP courses, and STEM pathways. Placement testing is used before enrollment so the course level matches the student’s preparation.
Is ACE Academy Geometry appropriate for every 7th grader?+
No, the course is designed for students with Algebra I readiness rather than for every student in Grade 7. A student may qualify after completing or taking school Algebra I, completing ACE Academy Pre-Algebra A/B, or demonstrating equivalent knowledge through placement testing. The assessment covers geometry, equations, analytic geometry, number theory, square roots, exponents, ratios, probability, and other reasoning. Students who are not yet ready may need a different point in the sequence first. Families should use the placement process to identify the most appropriate level.
How does the placement test work?+
The Geometry placement assessment contains 16 questions and has a 40-minute time limit. The stated passing threshold is 60%, which usually means approximately 10 or 11 correct answers. The main source levels are Pre-Algebra A/B and Algebra I A. Questions can involve midpoint calculations, fractions, perimeter, linear equations, coordinate distance, greatest common factors, radicals, ratios, logic, and ordering. The result is intended to support a level recommendation before enrollment.
What does the Geometry course include?+
The course includes 18 lessons delivered over one semester, with one 90-minute lesson each week. Topics include angles, congruent and similar triangles, right triangles, bisectors, quadrilaterals, circles, tangent lines, solid geometry, analytic geometry, and trigonometry. Students also study the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines. The course uses live instruction, English materials, homework, supplementary resources, midterm review, and final assessment. Recorded replay is available for the live instruction, according to the supplied course materials.
How much does the program cost, and is there a trial?+
The supplied information does not provide a specific price for the Geometry course. Separate math pricing examples list packages of 36 lessons for $999 and 72 lessons for $1,819, but those examples should not be treated as the Geometry course price. The course materials state that a trial class is currently unavailable and is expected to launch in Q2 2026. A refund is described as available after the trial lesson according to the course materials. Families can contact the team for current availability, pricing, and trial details.
Can a student take Geometry while studying Algebra I at school?+
Yes, the supplied program information specifically states that students may study Algebra I at school while taking ACE Academy Geometry outside school. The important condition is that the student must have the algebraic tools needed for Geometry, including equations, coordinates, slopes, distances, ratios, and proportional reasoning. The placement assessment helps determine whether those foundations are in place. Families should also consider the student’s overall workload and school schedule before adding an accelerated course. The intended purpose is to create a coherent advanced sequence, not simply to move faster without understanding.
