We regularly receive comments from our families regarding various aspects of our program. The following are but a sampling.

“Thank you for another great year of homeschooling. God has blessed our entire family with this Christian based curriculum. We thank God for CLA and always keep you in prayer.”
“We had a wonderful year schooling with the materials you have put together for the children. We are looking forward to our continuing schooling with your help. I am so glad you build the curriculum for us. It makes it a lot easier on me.
“Our school system around here is really impressed with this type of homeschooling.
“Thanks for everything you do. We continue to keep you all in our prayers.”
“Thank you so much for CLASS. My son…floundered in the regular school system. We entered CLASS and my son really found himself; it was wonderful to watch... Now he is enrolled in Waukesha Technical College and asked me the other day, ‘Mom, what happened to me? Why didn’t I want to go to school? I love school now. What was I thinking?...’
“So, we can’t thank you enough. You filled a void and help[ed] change my son’s life and therefore mine as well.”
“I want to thank you for your ministry. I count it a great privilege to homeschool my son. It would not have been possible without CLASS. Your prices and willingness to work with us on payment were just the start. The fact that our curriculum came already put together with so many helpful tips and the fact that I am accountable to you for completion has made our first year homeschooling a great experience and all that I prayed it would be!
“So for myself, my husband, my son, and my other children, Thank you! I know that no one is getting rich there, so I want you to know you have our gratitude as well as our prayers.”
“Our daughter...was received into Chadron State College, Chadron, Nebraska on her CLASS Diploma alone. She also received scholarships for full four-year tuition. You can add Chadron State College to your list of colleges accepting Christian Liberty Diplomas. Thanks for your continued support. We look forward to the upcoming school year with CLASS.”
“We are extremely pleased to report to Christian Liberty that our son..., who has been a student of CLASS for the past four years, has been accepted into the United States Air Force Academy. We believe that a crucial part in the completed application package that the USAFA received came from your [Transcript] department.
“We spoke personally to you on several occasions. Each of our detailed requests was filled above and beyond our expectations; we could not have asked for more complete records! The information forwarded to the Air Force Academy spoke loudly in commendation of your fine program, and home-schooling in general!”
“I just had to write and tell you how much we love your school books. My son...is in first grade right now. We just recently received our books for next year and as we looked through them I was just amazed at the wonderful, Godly teachings throughout each book...
“Thank you once again for your wonderful books. May God continue to Bless your work.”
“...I could not thank you enough for what your [school] had done for my family. We are truly blessed with the help of CLASS in organizing our homeschool of four children. The curriculum is outstanding and I can see my children not only grow in knowledge academically but the spiritual growth has been extraordinary. I also want to thank you for the Graduation Ceremony of the eighth graders and high school seniors, which [my daughter] participated in. It was the best one I have ever been to, and I am looking forward to the next one we are able to attend.”

“Thank you...for your great contribution to my education. In two years of homeschooling, I feel I learned far more than four years in a private school.”
– Twelfth grader: Twin Falls, ID |
“I am writing to let you know that I received my transcripts and diploma in the mail today— hallelujah! Thank you so much for all you have done. You provided the excellent program, held the wonderful graduation ceremony last spring, and you have stuck by me in the confusing process of college application. Thank you so much for your patience and for getting these things straightened out.”
“Dear CLASS,
“I’m from Michigan.
“I like homeschooling because it is fun.
“I like math, language, and reading.”
– Second grader: Sparta, MI |
“It has been a busy year for me since high school graduation. I am enrolled at Pensacola Christian College pursuing a major in Nursing and will be [a] Sophomore this fall. I am still depending on the Lord’s direction for my life. I know I have learned a lot from my studies with Christian Liberty and appreciate all your help...
“Thank you for your ministry in education. May God continue to bless your work as you help other students.”
– Graduate: Vancouver, BC, Canada |
“As each year goes by, I am ever more thankful to the Lord that my parents followed His leading and home schooled my sister and I for most of our education. After being educated at home for nine years, I graduated from CLASS in 1987 and the Lord led me to attend college. I finished my M.A. in Education in May of 1994.
“Thank you for all you are doing to help home schoolers. Please don’t ever give up your high standards of excellence.”

“Christian Liberty offers parents this valuable primer on homeschooling. Consisting of a compilation of articles, topics include what is Christian education, how should a child be trained, parental rights and responsibilities, discipline, accountability and structure, teaching several children, and teaching art and music and more. Presented in an encouraging well-reasoned style, this little volume has some nuggets of encouragement and advice for all home schoolers.”

“It has been a fascinating process watching my daughter go through this bible study, The Life of Christ. It seems that a day does not pass where she comes to me wide-eyed, saying, ‘Mom, did you know...’ It has been a joy seeing my daughter become so involved with the depth of history, geography, accounts and terminology that this bible study has opened up for her. I particularly like the fact that the Life of Christ does not take a ‘fluffy’ or emotional based approach. I appreciate that the authors did not assume my teenager needed to be entertained with goofy cartoons, or talked down to, or use teenage lingo to try and make the deep truths of our lives ‘hip’ or ‘cool’, but instead treated her like the mature, young adult that she is, and presented a study that uses the true incredible facts to draw her nearer to her Savior in a very real way. She appreciated it too, and rose to the occasion and has benefited a great deal. I give The Life of Christ a high rating...”
– Jenefer Igarashi, Senior Editor, The Old Schoolhouse™ Magazine |
“I absolutely LOVE this bible study curriculum. It is high school level and very well written. It brings up such interesting subjects, like what languages Jesus probably spoke, if He had any brothers or sisters in His earthly family, and tells how the prophecies about Him came true. I think it is wonderful because everything is backed up with scripture.”
“As my children are getting older, I am increasingly concerned that they are equipped with skills for high school and college. A great deal of our focus in the middle school years is on learning study skills, and research and writing skills. This little book is written to the student and covers all aspects of the study process. He spends a great deal of time in the beginning of the book talking about time management. Most of us need help in this area! He shows the student how to chart and manage their time effectively. The rest of the book is dedicated to improving skills, including reading, writing, composition and research. This is the kind of book you could read together with your child, or give to a middle school student to study independently. It’s a valuable investment is your child’s higher education.”
– Christine Field, Senior Correspondent, The Old Schoolhouse™ Magazine |
“For those of you who have little ones looking for a great Kindergarten workbook full of letter sound worksheets and number practice, Hearts and Hands is for you! My little daughter just loves it.”

For the 2003–2004 school year the Igarashi family chose to enroll their daughter Coie in the CLASS program. Coie’s mother Jenefer is the Senior Editor of The Old Schoolhouse™ Magazine, which has a printing of 22,000 magazines each quarter. Excerpts from reviews written by Jenefer and her daughter follow below. |

“This year we (the Igarashi family) decided to set out and learn what we
can about distance learning programs. We chose the Christian Liberty
Academy School System, or CLASS, and so far we have been very pleased.
Previously, in the Summer ’03 issue I (Jenefer) highlighted some of the
reasons we chose the CLASS program. (one of the biggest pro’s was the
great low price). Now that we have been working through the program for
a semester, we fell like we are getting a real feel for ‘who’ CLASS
is. I have to say that this has been a very good experience. We promptly
received the entire curriculum and the results back from Coie’s assessment/placement
test (they use CAT). We were happy with how they matched her curriculum
to her personal ‘test level’; she was able to dive right in
at a comfortable pace. She has accessed the online tutorial/help line
and customer service (by email). I’ve included her observations on those
services beneath my report. This month we will be mailing in our first
set of tests for grading by CLASS. They will be sending us quarterly
report cards and keeping cumulative records of test scores, final grades
and Coie’s academic history... Distance learning certainly takes some
of the pressure off with regards to record keeping and transcripts, among
other things.”
– Jenefer Igarashi, Senior Editor |
“Using the CLASS distance learning program this school year has been very
beneficial. There are many helpful tools including the algebra email help-line,
online algebra tutorial, and customer service. I used the customer service
e-mail when I first stated and they responded surprisingly fast with all
the answers to my questions. The online algebra tutorial is also really
great. Not all of the lessons in the book are included, but what they do
have is extremely helpful, giving many examples and explaining everything
clearly. I have not yet needed to use the help-line but if it’s anything
like their other services then it’s sure to be advantageous. There is a
CLASS lesson planner that can be used on your computer, which makes recording
everything much easier and faster. It has many features such as the weekly
lesson planner, prayer journal, weekly chore list, high school and elementary
academic transcript, field trip worksheet, attendance record, reading record
sheet, and many more features. It makes everything much easier and hassle-free.
I think that anybody who uses the CLASS program will be very impressed.”
