Notes

Our mission is to provide a safe place for children to get their education so that they are not hounded by the daily problems in life that can pull them down. Instead they are able to concentrate on their studies and their purpose in life, and when leaving this school they have the data they need to be what they want in life.

In following this mission, we have discovered that many students who arrive here are still plagued with problems at home, they are not fully able to concentrate in the classroom and they are sometimes unable to socialize or get along with others.

This is where our Life Basics program came in, and through the last decade this program has been streamlined and revised until it can cover almost any problem that a child runs into that makes life hard to confront.

Now children can do the Life Basics program and learn the tools to communicate, to take responsibility, to confront hardship, to make the right decisions and so on. Only when this is mastered can study be tackled. Children love to learn. When school is no longer something that they have to do, but something that they want to do, they WILL learn.

And that is our mission.

Considering Financial Aid?

Schools administer their financial aid individually. The keys to seeking financial aid are:

  1. Planning, including dedicating time to sit-down and work through the paperwork and process
  2. Communicating with the admission and financial aid officers at the school
  3. Completing the paperwork and forms early and accurately (forms and paperwork can differ between schools)
  4. Meeting the financial aid deadline (it's early).
