Jeremie Johnson: Leaving A Legacy Via Christian Education · Worldview Matters With David Fiorazo

So our mission at Grace Christian Academy is discipleship, that is the heartbeat.
0:15
And so our mission statement is that Grace Christian Academy is a Christian school that
0:19
exists to disciple students towards leaving a legacy of walking with Christ, producing
0:22
wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man.
0:25
And that's our heartbeat.
0:27
It has been that way for the last ten years and that's what we continue to come back to
0:31
for every class, every subject area that we teach, everything that we do, it's all wrapped
0:36
around discipleship.
0:37
And yes, we teach the ABCs and one, two, threes, we do that as well.
0:41
But for us, it starts with discipleship and then all of those academic courses are
0:46
blended in from there.
0:51
Welcome to World View Matters, discussing controversial issues, discerning current events,
0:58
defending biblical Christianity, no topic, off limits.
1:04
And now, here's your host, David Firazo.
1:08
Welcome friends, family, and Christ, thank you so much for joining us.
1:12
We appreciate you and thanks for your prayers too for this podcast.
1:18
Before I bring in today's guest and you have an idea of what we are going to talk about
1:21
based on the video you just saw, I'm going to give you the website of GraceChristianAcademy.School.
1:29
GraceChristianAcademy.School based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, we're going to bring on Jeremy
1:34
Johnson, the head administrator.
1:36
In fact, let's bring him in right now.
1:38
He's in studio with us because we're in Wisconsin too.
1:41
So good to see you brother.
1:42
Yes, thanks brother.
1:43
Thanks for having me on.
1:44
Thanks for coming in.
1:45
So before we, we're going to learn a lot about, you know, how homeschooling, how academies
1:50
work, how private schools, Christian schools work, we're going to learn a lot about that
1:54
from the founding to what they're doing today that's new and that could help you.
1:58
Plus, their partnership with Freedom Project Academy, that's very interesting, something
2:02
that maybe you guys can do depending on where you're at in the country.
2:06
But I've got some exciting news and I was debating on whether or not to break it this
2:11
week.
2:12
But I'm going to.
2:13
Because in six months, we're going to be holding a world view matters conference in Green
2:19
Bay, Wisconsin at the Delta Hotel by Marriott, May 1st and 2nd.
2:25
And I pretty much have 90% of the speakers that we're going to have their lined up and
2:29
they're all guests on the podcast.
2:31
I just want to mention some of them, okay, all of them.
2:35
Let's see Elijah Abraham, who was just on last week.
2:39
He's coming up from Texas.
2:40
We've got Scott Shera, Grace's dad, our amazing Grace.
2:44
Dr. Jake Jacobs, one nation he's been on recently, Jay Seigert from the starting point project,
2:51
Laura Perry-Smoltz, former transgender.
2:54
Her website is Eden's Redemption, also Gary Cah, author and a former Europe and Middle
3:01
East Trade Specialist, his website Hope for the World, Olivier Melnick, Messianek
3:06
Zhu, and he'll be talking about anti-Semitism and so much more Tim Chafee from Answers
3:12
and Genesis, and also Midwest Apologetics.
3:16
Let's see, Ken Michael from Olive Tree Ministries, Understanding the Times Radio, Mark and Amber
3:22
Archer, and possibly pray for us, Pastor Jack Hibbs, maybe making an appearance, we're
3:29
waiting to hear a confirmation on that.
3:31
But everything else is set to go, we're going to be in the planning and sponsorship, everything
3:36
else putting together a website, so I'll let you know when it's up and running, but I'm
3:39
excited about that World View Matters conference.
3:42
So Jeremy, you'll be there, he said, right?
3:44
Hey, with that line up, I will definitely be attending.
3:47
That is amazing.
3:48
Well, I'm excited.
3:49
I mean, I've never put on a conference, but this God's been working on me, and I said,
3:55
you know, the body of Christ needs it, and he puts the call.
3:59
You'll be fine.
4:00
Yes.
4:01
And what else does the body of Christ need?
4:05
Children to be educated in the Lord?
4:08
That's huge.
4:09
I mean, one of the reasons our country looks the way it does is because of the government
4:14
run school system, which is, let's just face it, friends, we've talked about this before,
4:20
it's a godless system, it's based on secularism and all kinds of other religions, but just
4:24
not Christianity, anything goes in the public schools.
4:28
So I want to ask you about Grace Christian Academy.
4:32
I know you moved to Green Bay, what, three, four years ago, three years ago, three years
4:35
ago.
4:36
Tell us about the founding, first of all, and how did you get involved with Grace Christian
4:41
Academy?
4:42
Sure.
4:43
Well, again, thanks for having me on the show, really appreciate being on here.
4:45
I know we talked about it for a while, so it's great to be here.
4:48
And so Grace Christian Academy really was in the early 2000s, Jamie Jackson was our founder
4:53
for the school, and present for a very long time.
4:57
And it was about a decade after that where, before the school even opened in 2014, but
5:03
before that, laying the groundwork in prayer, laying the groundwork in the Word of God as
5:07
to, what is this vision, where do you want me to go?
5:10
And so for Jamie, on her heart, was this vision of leaving a legacy.
5:15
And so that's part of our mission statement is leaving a legacy of walking with Christ.
5:19
And ever since then, it was continuing to for, take that vision and form it into, what
5:25
does this look like?
5:26
How do we actually walk this out when it comes to leaving a legacy of walking with Christ?
5:30
And so Luke 252 plugged into that, that it's, again, discipling students towards leaving
5:36
a legacy of walking with Christ, producing wisdom, stature, and favor of God and man.
5:40
And so we stood on that mission statement since it started in the early 2000s, opened
5:45
in 2014, and at that point too, which I know we'll talk about, we said we need someone
5:50
to partner with to help bring some over our classes in, and Freedom Project was that
5:55
partner.
5:56
So let's, let's talk about if there's someone that's affiliated with a Christian school
6:02
or Academy in, I don't know, Nebraska or in some other state Tennessee or wherever else
6:08
in the country, how did, how did you partner with, how does that work with Freedom Project?
6:13
So when we started in 2014, originally, it was just going to be kindergarten through
6:18
second grade, because to us, it made sense that, hey, you start with the lower levels
6:22
and every year, you're just at a level.
6:24
But God is God.
6:25
He's going to do things His way, not our way, and His plans are higher than our plans,
6:29
His ways higher than our ways.
6:30
And so God's like, nope, it's going to be K through 12.
6:34
And so we knew we had to be obedient to that, but it's like, well, how are we going to
6:37
do this?
6:38
And so when I was in public school for about 10 years, I heard a Freedom Project, and I was
6:45
actually using an online platform that they were using at the time, and I said, boy,
6:50
this looks like a platform that maybe we could partner with to bring in some classes
6:54
that we can't afford to teach.
6:56
We can't bring in a whole new staff starting the school off in those pioneering years.
7:00
You just can't do that.
7:02
And so we need to, we said, let's go down there and visit them.
7:04
So we're like, they're in Appleton, let's go down Appleton, came the headquarters, met
7:08
with them, and we basically just said, help us to do this.
7:12
But we're opening up the doors for a new school.
7:14
It's a discipleship school, but we need classes that we can actually bring in for the junior
7:20
high and for the senior high, and we can't afford teachers to do that.
7:23
Can we partner with you in this homeschooling platform to do that?
7:27
And it was right away, an immediate, yes, let's work something out.
7:32
And so since 2014, we've been partnering and through the years, while things have looked
7:37
different through the years, we've been able to keep that partnership.
7:40
And it's been amazing.
7:42
Every time that we call down here and try to change things up a little bit, say, hey,
7:47
we want to see if we could do this, or we want to try to do this, they've been so flexible
7:51
and just helpful in doing that.
7:53
So one more follow up question to that.
7:56
Some people might be wondering, well, how does that work if you're in Green Bay and you're
8:00
partnering with Freedom Project Academy, which is, it's based in Appleton, but it's online
8:06
school and you could take it from anywhere.
8:08
So there are teachers that are, they could be from a different state to Florida or anywhere
8:14
else, and they're teaching on, how does that work?
8:18
Yeah.
8:19
So at Grace Christian Academy, we have your traditional brick and mortar school.
8:22
And so through K through sixth grade, we have traditional classes with traditional teachers
8:27
that are in the rooms.
8:28
But then when we get in the junior high, when the sixth grade on up through 12th grade,
8:33
that's where we will actually bring in some of those classes from Freedom Project Academy.
8:38
And there's three different formats they use.
8:40
They have the live classes.
8:42
They have the anytime classes and now homeschooling platform.
8:45
And we use all three of them.
8:46
Wow.
8:47
And part of what we have developed over the years is saying, well, how can we continue
8:52
to state of this call of discipling students towards leaving a legacy of walking with
8:56
Christ and do what we do and do it even better with partnering with FPA?
9:01
And these anytime classes, when they came in and these homeschool classes, they came
9:05
in like, this is what we're looking for, so we can have some flexibility in the schedule
9:08
because otherwise we're kind of locked in to the live classes all the time.
9:14
And so currently, we have a couple of live classes, which are teachers from across the
9:18
country, with other students across the country for some of our kids.
9:22
But a lot of the anytime classes, we facilitate those courses.
9:26
And so what will happen is that the students will watch videos and they'll do these assignments
9:31
that are assigned by teachers across the country.
9:34
But then we have teachers, staff that are there that are act as facilitators to help tutor
9:38
them, to help run science labs, and do whatever needs to be done to enrich that platform.
9:43
That's amazing.
9:44
That's amazing.
9:45
That's amazing.
9:46
And therefore, they submit their assignments and things, and we're just able to help
9:50
them out.
9:51
So the students are kind of getting the best of both worlds, and they're going to take
9:54
the class and have actual hands-on help.
9:56
So they come into Grace Christian Academy in Green Bay, and they'll take whatever class
10:03
that might be from someone else will be teaching that, and then there'll be a teacher there
10:07
to facilitate.
10:08
Right.
10:09
That's amazing.
10:10
Yep.
10:11
So tell us about the programs.
10:12
I should be looking at the website as you're talking, but I don't want to be rude.
10:15
But there's so much on your website.
10:17
Again, friends, Grace, ChristianAcademy.school, so about some programs that maybe you'd like to highlight.
10:23
Sure.
10:24
Being a discipleship ministry, discipleship school, that is our program.
10:29
That is.
10:30
That's our co-curricular, as we always say.
10:33
And so we are a smaller school currently.
10:35
We have 37 students, but we are pre-K, 3K all the way up through 12th grade this year.
10:41
And so we teach and facilitate all those class levels all the way through.
10:46
And it's not just traditional classes and teachers that are in the room.
10:51
We have FBA, which you talked about.
10:52
And then also this year, we've been able to do dual enrollment options.
10:55
And so we've partnered with different universities.
10:59
Christian Halls is another one that we've partnered with to do different types of options
11:02
for our high school, the Legacy Making Academy.
11:06
And we are very much into application of our faith as well.
11:10
And so when it comes to the cycling, it's not just memorizing the word of God, which
11:13
is wonderful, but we also need to put that faith into action because if we're just staying
11:19
in silence, which you've talked about quite a bit, silence is telling, right?
11:24
And so we need to be a body of believers that's active in the community, in the public
11:28
square.
11:29
And so part of our discipleship program is just that.
11:32
We're the things that they're learning.
11:33
We take and we apply out into the real world.
11:36
And so staying relevant with the times and what's happening in the world.
11:39
These are things that we want to be teaching in the classroom.
11:42
And so students will have a reason for the hope that's within them when they talk to
11:45
people.
11:46
Praise God.
11:47
And obviously, maybe well, obviously to me, because I've been talking about this with
11:52
other guests, people like Alex Newman and so many other Sam Sorbo, Heidi St. John, so
11:57
many of the guests that I get to learn from one benefit of doing this is a student to
12:03
teacher ratio or teacher to student.
12:06
How do you teach?
12:07
Right.
12:08
Tell us about that because that must be a blessing to kids to have a little bit more
12:12
individual help and attention.
12:13
Yes.
12:14
Yes, it truly is.
12:15
It's a model again that we have plans in our minds, but God has plans is a much higher.
12:21
And so we knew that we always wanted to have that teacher to student ratio lower.
12:26
And currently it's 10 to 12 that would be in a room.
12:29
But what's really developed over the last 12 years for us is more of that one room schoolhouse
12:34
type of model.
12:35
And so we have elementary work kindergarten through second grade are together in one
12:41
room.
12:42
And then we'll have third through fifth grade there together in one room are junior
12:44
higher together and our high schoolers are together.
12:47
And so we found that that is really beneficial in a number of ways because there are things
12:51
that the older students are helping live and learn as an example to the younger ones.
12:57
And then also it's encouragement for them to continue to live for Christ in those ways
13:03
and reveal that.
13:05
And so our day starts with chapel every day with a whole school.
13:09
So our staff, our students, everyone is together and chapel every day.
13:13
And then we break off to the different classes, but then like lunchtime recess and other opportunities
13:18
throughout the day, we do together as a school.
13:21
And so to have that big brother, big sister model, but in the example of Christ where they
13:29
can actually live that example out for these younger students to see that, it's been phenomenal.
13:36
I mean, we have really enjoyed that model so we continue to use it because it's been really
13:40
beneficial to the program and especially when it comes to discipling students.
13:43
Yeah.
13:44
Excellent.
13:45
So I know you mentioned the legacy making academy high school programs or anything else
13:50
you wanted to add before we move on.
13:52
Sure.
13:53
So a few years back, again, there's just a vision that was put on a number of our hearts
13:59
and I guess it started with me with this legacy making academy is that, all right, first
14:02
off, high school.
14:03
I don't like that brand.
14:04
Let's brand this with something that is coming from the truth of the Word of God.
14:08
And if we're leaving a legacy, walk with Christ, well, let's have that as part of our program.
14:12
So we have the legacy making program.
14:14
And part of this program, again, is really threefold.
14:17
One is staying relevant with the times that we're in.
14:20
These students, they're facing things that you and I never had to deal with.
14:23
And so we need to disciple and train and equip them in ways that they're going to be ready
14:27
to have an answer for that and to be able to stand for truth and love in the public
14:32
square, right?
14:33
And so being relevant is important.
14:35
Secondly, I already mentioned his application.
14:38
Being about applying our faith is what we want to do.
14:40
We'll be doers of the Word and not just being able to just have an answer for certain things
14:47
or or spit things back out on a test.
14:50
We want to be able to be a body believers that's active in the community.
14:55
And then thirdly is just when it comes to students and their giftings and deposits.
15:01
God has wired us and made us in so many unique and amazing ways.
15:04
He's got a variety, right?
15:06
Yes.
15:07
And we celebrate that.
15:08
And so we get some interviews done with our students as to what are some of their interests,
15:14
what are they enjoy, what are they like.
15:17
And then we try to cater some of that education to go around them throughout their four years
15:22
in the high school.
15:23
So literally by the end of their junior senior year, I even told their seniors this year.
15:27
I said, if you're not on campus half the time this year, praise the Lord because that
15:31
means that you're going out to observe, to volunteer, to learn, to apply your faith in
15:36
the community.
15:37
And so that's very much what we want our program to be about.
15:40
So really quick, we didn't mention this at the beginning.
15:44
One of our recent guests on World View Matters was Amber Rocky, Amber Lee Creative.
15:48
There she is.
15:49
And she designed the Grace Christian Academy website.
15:54
And not only that, her daughter attends Grace Christian Academy in Green Bay.
15:59
So I thought that was an interesting connection too.
16:01
Yeah, we've been so blessed with so many people coming alongside and God raises them up,
16:06
right?
16:07
And so that very first year that we opened our doors with, and Jamie Jackson was there.
16:12
So he was our founder, our president of the school board, head administrator, teacher,
16:18
and everyone helps with janitorial stuff.
16:19
I mean, because you have to take off the garbage, you take it out.
16:22
And so that first year we had that, then the jacks as they left for China.
16:26
And because they had missions that were putting their heart to go.
16:30
And so the rest of us, like, well, is this, is this it?
16:32
Is this all it's going to be?
16:33
It's just these, these, these few months.
16:36
But God raised other people up, equipped different people to come in.
16:39
And since that first year, that's where it's been like these over these 12 years, where
16:43
people are like Amber Rocky and others that have come into the school, whether it's families
16:49
that have enrolled, whether it's just people that we know through church or different places,
16:54
have just said, do you need help?
16:57
Do you need equipment?
16:58
Do you need resources?
17:00
What are some of the needs?
17:01
And so what I've found is that a big part of my place has had a administrator is to share
17:05
the needs of what God is doing in the school, but also what are some of the needs of the
17:11
ministry.
17:12
And so we've been blessed with so many people like Amber to help out.
17:15
You mentioned earlier, Jeremy.
17:17
By the way, we're speaking with Jeremy Johnson, Grace Christian Academy, dot school, how
17:24
the landscape has changed in America.
17:28
Did you mean the public school system?
17:30
Did you mean what young people, what any, any young person K through 12 are dealing with
17:35
with Hollywood technology, social media, the world today?
17:39
What did you mean by that?
17:41
And how does that relate to the challenges and education?
17:43
Sure.
17:44
David, all the above, you just mentioned them.
17:47
Again, our students, they're, they're facing challenges today with technology and AI and
17:51
things that we never had to deal with.
17:53
We actually had barriers, you know, that would prevent us from getting into trouble and
17:58
doing things, right?
17:59
Yeah.
18:00
Well, now kids have access 24, seven to so many different things.
18:03
And so in, in discussing the vision of discipling at GCA, it's a matter of how can we equip them
18:10
in ways in which the technology will not manage them, but they'll manage the technology,
18:15
right?
18:16
And then same thing with different things are going on in the world and society, you know,
18:20
how do we take the word of God and start there on that foundation and how can we use the
18:26
word of God?
18:27
What did he speak to these things that are happening in our world today?
18:31
Whether it's things that are prophetic and nature that people are seeing around them,
18:36
or if it's just how do we, how do we handle these issues that are before us that we never,
18:41
some of these things are items that we never thought we'd have to deal with and they're
18:44
before us.
18:46
And so they're very real time issues that our students have to, to hear and try to understand.
18:52
And then again, know how to have an answer for that.
18:55
And I think that's one of the things when I think of freedom project, especially with
18:59
a FPA and partnering with them.
19:02
One of their lines that they used for so long is teaching kids how to think and not
19:06
what to think.
19:07
Yes.
19:08
And that's very much what we stand on as well, because if we're just about, all right,
19:12
memorize this, spin it back out in a test and that's all you need to know, then they're
19:16
going to be good at being told what to do.
19:19
But when we continue to say, well, let's critically think about the information we have
19:24
before us.
19:25
And let's see what the word of God has to speak to that.
19:28
And then as they go into the world, they can continue to look at that in the lens of
19:34
the Bible, being Bible based and being Christ-centered.
19:37
And therefore can speak into these things with truth and love and not just, well, that's
19:42
what the world told me.
19:43
Culture says it's fine.
19:44
So that's what I'm going to do.
19:45
No, what is the word of God's say?
19:47
And let's start applying that because others need to know the truth as well.
19:50
Amen.
19:51
So I don't want to run out of time before we talk about something you, did you send
19:57

The Christian Educator's Expo in January, 24th, 2026.
20:05
It's in Green Bay.
20:06
Tell us about that and how are you involved with that?
20:09
Yeah.
20:10
So very excited about this.
20:11
A few years back, we regrouped, I guess you could say, the Christian Educator's Committee
20:19
through the Serv Network.
20:21
And I know Amber had talked about this when she was on the podcast about Sherry Birol
20:26
and spearing up the Serv Network in Northeast Wisconsin.
20:31
And one of the arms, I guess you could say of that is the Christian Educator's Committee.
20:36
And so in talking together with private schools and homeschoolers and discipleship ministries
20:42
across Northeast Wisconsin, we're like, well, what can we do to get the word out there
20:46
to share with people about what God is doing in our area when it comes to options for
20:50
Christian education?
20:52
And so one of the ideas that came out of that committee was the Expo, the Christian
20:56
Educator's Expo.
20:57
And so last year was our first one that we did.
21:00
And we ran it at the cup of joy.
21:02
We had Dr. Duke there that spoke for Dr. Duke, talking into education.
21:07
And Pastor David Roth was there as well as keynote speakers.
21:11
And then we had a number of private schools and homeschoolers and different types of vendors
21:17
that were there that were just sharing on what God was doing in their ministry, their
21:21
school.
21:22
And then parents, it's free.
21:24
And so parents and families, they could come for free and not only see the options that
21:29
are in Northeast Wisconsin when it comes to Christian education, but more so to understand
21:33
that it's not about building silos.
21:36
We're together when it comes to raising our children up in the Christian faith, right?
21:42
Parents first and foremost, they are mandated in the Word of God to do that.
21:47
And then there's all kinds of different opportunities, different organizations that come
21:51
alongside and help in that.
21:53
And it's not just private school and homeschool, there's so many different blends of that.
21:57
We just shared how freedom project and us partner together.
22:00
And they're mostly an online homeschooling platform, classical Christian education.
22:05
And we're able to pull from that and do some things in a traditional setting for Grace
22:11
Christian Academy that you normally won't see.
22:13
And even with homeschooling families, like we partner with some homeschooling families
22:17
to flex into our school at times to take a class or two.
22:20
So there's so many different options that are out there and we feel this expo is doing
22:24
a great job at communicating some of those options for our families to come and see.
22:28
So I want to mention, you said it fast and for people that are outside the area, don't
22:31
know what, cup of joy is, it sounds like a coffee shop.
22:35
Cup of joy is a venue, they are music venue.
22:39
They hold concerts, Christian concerts every Friday and Saturday night, but they also open
22:43
up there.
22:44
They have a very nice building, very nice facility there in Green Bay for other events
22:48
too and that's where this is going to be on January 24th.
22:52
You can go to servewifriends, servewi.com or there's a whole link is for the Christian
23:00
Educator's Expo is servewi.com slash educators and then there's slash serve.
23:07
But I think it's easier to just go to servewi and just scroll down to events or look for
23:13
the events tab if you're interested in that.
23:15
So why would a family or parents or maybe another homeschooling organization, why would
23:21
someone want to come to the expo?
23:22
What are they again?
23:23
What do they learn?
23:24
Sure.
23:25
Yeah, so there's a lot of times I think parents may be overwhelmed with, well, I can't
23:29
homeschool.
23:30
You know, there's so many things I'd have to try to learn or resources that I don't know
23:35
how to teach.
23:36
I can't teach biology.
23:37
I can't do this.
23:38
And they probably have college degrees, right?
23:39
I don't know how to teach my kids could be.
23:42
I think that's part of it is that as parents, we just get overwhelmed with, well, I'm not
23:48
able to do this.
23:49
Well, first off, you're right.
23:50
You can't, but God can through God, all things are possible.
23:54
And so this expo is really a way for them to just come and see not only what is out there,
24:01
but to get confidence in equipping them to say, yes, you can.
24:05
And there's many different ways in which that can look and there's many different people
24:09
that can surround you in this to help with educating your kids.
24:15
And so whether it's full out homeschooling or private schooling or a blend of all that
24:19
or the different discipleship ministries that are in the area, there are a lot of ways
24:23
that you can partner with people to help get this done.
24:26
By the way, one website that we did not give today, when you were talking about partnership
24:30
with Freedom Project Academy, friends, you can go to FPEUSA.org slash partnership.
24:38
There it is, FPEUSA.org and Find Out About Partnership there.
24:45
So yeah, we just have a couple minutes left, Jeremy.
24:47
So I just want to ask you about like the enrollment process.
24:52
So you're already covered, you've already full for 2025 going into 2026.
24:57
So the next enrollment period for parents that are still on the fence or gathering a lot
25:03
of information on homeschooling going to an academy where you are in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
25:09
Just tell us about that, what that process is and when would they have to consider enrolling.
25:14
I guess you got to go to the website, fill in some forms.
25:17
How does that work?
25:18
Yeah, well, in a perfect world, everyone would do it by a certain date, right?
25:23
In a certain time.
25:24
It's just not reality.
25:25
We're all people and we're going to do things different ways.
25:29
So we have very much relied on the Holy Spirit this whole process in the past years because
25:34
there's no hard deadlines.
25:35
Well, you got to draw a line this year somewhere and so we will start opening up enrollment
25:41
in January of 2026 for the next school year and it's coming up fast and then we'll
25:48
have some deadlines that we put out there for people to have enrolled by.
25:54
So usually it's by July 4th that we say, okay, that's the cut off.
25:57
You know, when people have to have things in, but the bottom line is God has got it again.
26:02
And sometimes there's people that come to our school that it's evident, the affirmation
26:07
for the family and affirmation for us at the school that, okay, God is opening the door
26:11
here and making a way.
26:12
So we're going to be obedient to that because that's, he's in who we trust.
26:17
And so it's happened a lot of different ways, but ideally, yes, it would be January we
26:21
start opening things up for enrollment and the sooner the better you're looking for schools
26:25
to get in, whether it's Grace Christian Academy or any place, you know, continue to put
26:30
up before the Lord and prayer, continue to get it surrendered to him.
26:33
He will continue to lead you, he'll continue to make a way and you continue to equip you
26:37
as well.
26:38
So are the dates pretty much the typical, you know, public school, school years, is it
26:43
start like in late August or September and go through what, April, May?
26:48
How does that work?
26:49
Yeah, for us, we start typically the last week of August and then we'll go all the way
26:52
through before Memorial Day and May.
26:55
That was very similar, you know, dates, so okay, so not a lot of surprises there.
26:59
Jeremy, this was education, even for me.
27:02
I'm old enough, I can still keep learning, so that's a good sign.
27:06
Again, friends, one more time, the website, just, just mark this, you're going to probably
27:09
run into someone who's going to need to get information about homeschooling or a Christian
27:14
Academy, Grace Christian Academy, dot school.
27:18
One more question, real quick, we have 20 seconds, you're furthest drive for a student.
27:23
How far away are they coming from?
27:25
I'm probably in the sea more area somewhere in there.
27:29
How many miles?
27:30
Maybe 20 miles or so.
27:31
20 miles?
27:32
Yeah.
27:33
Just, I'm just curious off the top of my head.
27:34
Jeremy, good to see you.
27:35
Yeah, thanks for having me in.
27:36
Thank you for coming in and continued good success with Grace Christian Academy.
27:40
Friends, thank you, education is such an important topic and it's not going to go away because
27:44
the school system in America is irredeemable.
27:48
That's not just my opinion.
27:49
I think there's a lot behind that that would show there are problems just can't be overcome.
27:54
So it's fine.
27:55
Good alternatives.
27:56
Anyway, thanks for watching, listening and sharing.
27:58
God bless you and as always, keep speaking the truth about things that matter.
