"I loved it..."

I'd like to say thank you for your program too. Ivy has been in this program since 5th grade. I have loved it. She is an exceptional teenager. I am not just being a biased mother in saying that. Everyone does. I am certain that much of it has to do with your home study program. I appreciate it.

"I really benefited from this program..."

I wanted to send this e-mail because I wanted to say how much I really benefited from this program and I've only been in the program for one year. My grades have never been better than they are now--and it's all thanks to your school. I already feel that I've become a better student, a better person, and most important a better servant of Jehovah. Thank you.
Sincerely
Talia G.

"He learned to research..."

Thank you for your support and assistance over the years. We have truly appreciated this program. In particular the flexibility and the way students can learn and grow in such an independent way. Watching Ryan go from someone who lacked confidence in his abilities to someone who saw his success was really rewarding. He learned to research, delve into topics/chapters to find answers and desired to always improve. He was delinquent with his reading and reading each chapter in full. He learned that highlighting helped him. It was great to see him create his own set of parameters with regard to his work and studies. He was/is a very serious student in that when it was a day to do school work, he got up, got ready, and got started with no prompting. We were fortunate to be able to homeschool Ryan and utilize tutors when needed. My colleagues were so impressed with his focus, diligence, and discipline. Not only a great witness, but a testament to your program.
Respectfully,
Lorraine and Ryan

"How grateful we are..."

We just wanted to say thank you so much for everything that you've done to help us make it to high school graduation.

Words can't express how grateful we are to have been able to find a school that would help us to focus on the basics, enabling us to prepare for a simple avocation to support our ministry and keep first things first. (Matt. 6:33) Already those goals are being reached.

Julian is now a continuous auxiliary pioneer and is focusing on extending what he learned in Mechanical Drawing at Pearblossom Academy. He's now learning AutoCad and from there is planning to learn Maya (also part of the Autodesk family of products) for 3D computer graphics. We took a tour at Bethel and learned that they need those who can perform 3D rendering techniques, which is right up his alley!!! And since he's only 14, he's certainly got enough time to get it right.

Tory is looking forward to regular pioneering soon. She now works part-time at Banana Republic, which will help her reach her goal with regard to fashion merchandising and management without having to spend too much time on further schooling.

Thanks again to Dr. Goldman, Rusty, Vikkii and all the rest who've helped us reach our most recent milestone!!!

"I appreciate the hard work from the teachers..."

Hi, I'm Ilyena. I'm 15 and I just graduated from Pearblossom. This is a fantastic program! Not only do you have the chance to finish early, but the quality of learning is above average in my opinion. I have recommended Pearblossom to some now enrolled in Pearblossom or will soon be enrolling next year. I appreciate the hard work from the teachers and Mr. Goldman to help students learn quicker--but still retain knowledge. I thank you for this chance, which has not only made me a better student, but also a better servant of Jehovah. Thanks again!

"His life has been enriched..."

I know I'm just one of many passing though the "halls" of your school, but I want to share my story with you, a sort of testimonial, if you will.

Five years ago, when it was time for our daughter, Lauren, to decide where to enroll in high school, she happened to be looking online for a new service bag. On ministryideaz.com there was a link to your website. It was no mere coincidence that she found you--since she had made it a matter of prayer repeatedly that her schooling would enable her to pioneer. Your school was the perfect solution not only for her but for her brother to follow for several reasons. We loved the fact that you used the Young People Ask book for the health class. We were happy that you didn't fill the kids' time with a bunch of extra work that we felt would have been unnecessary. It allowed them to get done what they needed to and they were able to get in the ministry more often. We appreciated that the program was self-paced. All the books came at once. They could hurry through the easy ones, take their time through the more difficult subjects. And then, after turning in their assignments the first time, they had a chance to correct their mistakes before being given a final grade. All of these reasons were positive reinforcement and a positive experience for them.

We have told all of our witness friends with regular pioneering as a goal about your program.

Now I want to tell you about the outcome. Lauren graduated one year early last year, thanks to your program's combining 11/12 grade. She and I both just finished up our first year of pioneering together. In August we had the most joyous privilege of attending pioneer school together. As for a job? Jehovah provides! My husband went to get a stamp at the post office in our town. He asked if there were any jobs available. While they didn't have any posted, they were looking for a Saturday Carrier. So now, Lauren is a part- time postal worker which enables her to continue her pioneering!!!

We hadn't had the money to pay for Brendon's 11/12 year yet (we are paying for it this Friday) but he couldn't wait! He's been working out of Lauren's last year books because he wants to finish by January so that he can start Auxiliary Pioneering in March and begin Regular Pioneering in September.

All of this has been possible because you, sometime in the past, decided to do what you did. I'm sure it was oodles of work. I want to thank you so so very much. You have enriched our spiritual lives and have been the answer to our prayers.
