Grace Academy BEWARE!!

THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO INVESTIGATE A HOME SCHOOL PROGRAM FOR YOUR CHILD THAT STRESSES CHRIST IN THEIR LIVES! MY WIFE AND I WERE VERY EXCITED TO FIND GRACE ACADEMY IN THE SUMMER OF 09. THIS WAS OUR FIRST SHOT AT HOME SCHOOLING AFTER A RECENT MOVE. OUR DAUGHTER (5TH GRADE) HAS ALWAYS BEEN A VERY GOOD STUDENT AT HER PRIVATE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL AND LIKE MANY, THE COST OF A PRIVATE SCHOOL WEIGHED VERY HEAVY ON OUR MINDS. GRACE WAS AN ANSWER TO PRAYER - OR SO WE THOUGHT...

AFTER 2 MONTHS OF THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR WE WERE FINDING THAT THE SCHOOL WORK WAS BECOMING A LEVEL OF 6-7TH GRADE LEVEL. AFTER REPEATED E-MAILS TO THE TEACHER, THE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE MODIFY THE CURRICULUM TO AN APPROPRIATE LEVEL. WAIT A MINUTE, ISN'T THAT WHAT WE ARE PAYING FOR?
WE DECIDED TO PULL HER FROM THE PROGRAM TO PURSUE ANOTHER PROGRAM A FRIEND IS USING AT A FRACTION OF THE COST.

WHICH LEADS ME TO MY POINT..
BEFORE ENROLLING AT GRACEACADEMY.ORG, BE VERY AWARE THAT IF YOU DO NOT READ THE FINANCE AGREEMENT, YOU NEED TO. IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THE PROGRAM AFTER 30 DAYS AND WHAT AMOUNTS AN EXTREMELY LIMITED ACCESS TO THE PROGRAM AND FEED BACK FOR YOUR CHILD, YOU WILL BE FORCED TO PAY THE FULL YEAR ENROLLMENT OR YOU GET ABSOLUTELY NO REFUND OF THE ENROLLMENT FEE. NOW TELL ME HOW IT IS REASONABLE TO PAY FOR A FULL YEARS TUITION, AND USE @1/4TH OF A SCHOOL YEARS TUITION AND NOT RECEIVE EVEN A PENNY BACK. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU WILL BE HAPPY WITH THE PROGRAM BEFORE ENROLLING (FORESEE THE FUTURE).

I HAVE NOW PAID ONE OF "LIFE'S TUITIONS" BY NOT LOOKING FURTHER INTO REVIEWS OF GRACE ACADEMY- OF WHICH THEY ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND - AND REALIZE THAT JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE A CHRIST BASED PROGRAM, THEIR BUSINESS IS DEFINITELY NOT FOLLOWING SUIT.

BEST OF LUCK TO YOU.
