“
Basic Christian Education has been a huge blessing to our family! We are local, so my wife was able to just run over and get PACEs as I can afford them, which was a real blessing when my work was a little unsteady. I like the option of buying just what I could afford and not having to fork out a chunk of money at one time to get my kids started on their school year.
The staff has always been very nice and helpful, and don't treat us as a bother or an inconvenience. The curriculum is also a great and full of the Word. We love all the character attributes and Bible verses that they learn throughout the PACEs. I'm forever grateful for the switch that we made to Basic Christian Education!
