The Hawkinson Family — A Parent’s ACSTO Story
Valley Christian Schools — Amy & Ty Hawkinson
We chose Christian education for the biblical worldview woven through every subject, not just Bible class, and for the weekly chapel, smaller class sizes, and more opportunities for our kids to get involved. Having administrators and staff who are believers made all the difference.
What we love most about Valley Christian is the community.
ACSTO scholarships have helped us afford a Christian education at a time when we couldn’t have on our own. Because we’ve been able to do this for so long, we’ve now been blessed to have all of our tuition covered. I know many other families who use ACSTO and simply couldn’t pay full tuition out of pocket — they needed these scholarships, and ACSTO was there to help.
My encouragement for parents who aren’t sure: don’t let the cost keep you from doing it.
Pray about it and step out in faith. If you feel this is where God is leading you to put your child, listen — He will take care of you. As a parent, you do have to put in the work; money doesn’t just fall off trees. But as you put the work in, the reward is great. The experience we’ve had at a Christian school has been priceless.
