The purpose of this study was to establish an overview of the curriculum (both formal and hidden) of Christian Outreach College as an ACE school (1978-1982); examine the perceived needs of the school and its members to adjust to and undertake a process of transition from a biblically-based curriculum to a state- based curriculum in both the classroom applications and the educational management of the school; and, investigate and identify the process of the transition to a state- based curriculum and the implications for the school community. The findings indicate that the Christian Outreach College has changed significantly in curriculum orientation after the transition from the ACE system to a state-based curriculum. As an ACE school, the College exhibited stringent Vocational/Neo- Classical traits centring on a Biblical core curriculum. Various social and academic concerns of parents and students induced school authorities to reconstruct the entire school curriculum towards a state-based educational system. Whilst the change in curriculum was necessary to provide a more satisfactory form of education for students, the Christian aspect of the College has diminished. It was found that the school, originally commenced as a training ground for Christian students, has developed into a liberal, token-Christian College.
