For our family, there was never really a choice to make about Christian education — there was never even a thought of another option. Stacey was raised in it, starting at Grace Community Christian School and graduating from Valley. But if there had been a choice, a Bible-based education would win every time.

What we love most is that everything taught at Valley is grounded in God’s word, by teachers who believe the same — every piece of the curriculum reflects that.

God is good, and maybe there would have been some other way for us to attend Valley, but without ACSTO, we’re not sure we’d be there. The financial assistance takes the burden of worrying about tuition away.

Our advice: pray about it, seek out peers who attend, and find out how to make it happen. There will be some sacrifice, and it will take some work, but when your children’s education is on the line, it’s more than worth it. Especially in times like these, we have to build that solid foundation now.
