School Notes:

If you were to observe our classrooms this school year you would see class sizes of fifteen to sixteen students each being taught within their individual goals. We rarely use a lecture method of instruction, instead a unique system of teaching is employed which provides individual instruction and expectations for each of our students. It looks sort of like a home school classroom except for a few more students.
Bios Christian offers experienced teachers who provide clear expectations and the knowledge of how to effectively teach each student under their care while supporting the parents in their responsibility to train their children.
