Our Students Say …
“I finally understand what I am being taught rather than just passing a test.”
“My grades are much better and in math I am on pace versus the year before I was behind!”
“I finally get to work at a faster pace…so I’m not bored waiting for the rest of the class. I’m finishing some courses early so I’ll have time to take extra college credits and work towards my degree.”
“We are going through the New Testament books of the bible right now and I like how the teachers help us interpret the Bible.”
“I am finding it much easier and more natural to talk to God and give my problems to him.”
“I now know more about the Bible than I have learned all my life. I would have never known or understood how much I would know in just 1 school year as compared to before.”
