“
Thank you so much for all your help, especially with preparing our daughter for High School. Our son plugs along, and I thank you for your help and guidance with him as well. This was a transition year for sure. You helped me plant my feet and re-establish trust in the system that I feel like had pretty much failed me all my years of homeschooling. I wish I had found BCE on day one!
God richly bless you, your family, and the work of your hands!
Blessings to all of the BCE staff. I'm forever grateful for each one of you!
