At Ecclesia College, we believe that a Christ-centered education is critically important from the very beginning through the college level.
As you may know, many of the faculty, staff and close associates of Ecclesia College have chosen to homeschool their children. Ecclesia also has the privilege of housing the Harvest Youth Christian Homeschool Library.
Over the years, we have been thrilled to accept a number of homeschoolers into the college. Although we continue to be strong supporters of Christian education in all its forms, we have a growing appreciation for the many reasons to learn at home and the benefits that result.
Our vision, in this regard, is to utilize the growing resources of Ecclesia College in order to add to the number and type of services available to homeschooling families. So we welcome you to our campus as we announce the formation of Ecclesia Prep -- offering elective classes, and extra-curricular activities for homeschoolers through the Christian Education Division of Ecclesia College.
Ecclesia Prep offers a variety of opportunities for academic, cultural, spiritual and social enrichment. Of course fellowship and fun are natural byproducts when Christian families with common values connect. Friendships that last a lifetime can begin in this kind of setting.
The potential applications are almost limitless. In the fall of 2008 we will be offering several classes for K-8 students including Choir, Art, Creation Science, and Sports & Recreation. Tutoring is also available and in the future, there will be additional opportunities such as theater, orchestra, languages, etc.
Eligible high school (9th-12th grade) students can receive college credit for concurrent courses through Ecclesia College. Classes will be available for parents as well.
You may apply online or print out the application and return the completed form to Ecclesia Prep, 9653 Nations Drive, Springdale, AR 72762. Upon acceptance, your child will be eligible this year and hereafter to enroll in any appropriate classes and activities. Registration is available now for fall 2008. Tuition will be based on the number of classes, activities and services you select.
As a father and educator, I am particularly excited about the opportunity for children and families to find friends who positively influence their lives, as they influence others.
I am grateful for your faithfulness to God and for the kinship I feel with you. May He continue to guide and bless you and establish the work of your hands.
Warm Regards,
Oren Paris IIIPresident
