Providence Extension Program

I must say, I continue to be extremely impressed with PEP.  We have now homeschooled in 3 states, and PEP is by far the best program we have seen anywhere.  It strikes a well-crafted balance by “not being a private school”, yet plays a substantial role in augmenting our home-based efforts to school our children.  The instructors are top-notch and we are grateful to have such a great resource so close to home.

Can I brag a bit? My daughter is a National Merit Semi Finalist! She scored a perfect 80/80 on the Writing portion of her PSAT (the qualifying test for the National Merit Program). She credits her tutors at PEP for making her learn proper grammar! We all know that homeschooling and PEP produce excellent students and now we have some measurable proof!

Our involvement in PEP has caused us as a family to be more informed about the Christian worldview and more aware of opposing worldviews.  We are better prepared and seek to relate more to the world and worldly views.  This has equipped us all to be better ambassadors for Christ!

I feel so blessed that you took on the work of developing PEP.  I'm sure you get quite a few thank your for your work..... but truly thank you from the bottom of my heart.  There is no way that I could provide the Christ-based education with the quality that is being provided at PEP.  And it is exactly what I wanted for our children.

Our experience in the college admissions process was surprisingly positive.  Not only did our son's college preparation compare favorably with what was expected or required, many colleges we applied to (both secular and Christian) spoke of their experience that home schooled students frequently perform better in the college environment than their non-home schooled peers.  In one interview at a major university, when presented with the reading curriculum and writing assignments our son had completed at PEP, the admissions officer said, "Wow, no student I have interviewed from any background has done this kind of work at the high school level!"

I love PEP because it allows me to home school my kids in High School level subjects without having to overcome my deficiencies in those areas! The PEP teachers are excellent academically and spiritually! What more could a mother ask?

PEP has the professional, experienced teachers and excellent educational resources of a quality school along with the freedom and values of a Christian homeschool.

PEP means relief for my wife – as opposed to burn out from teaching every subject of multiple grade levels or even just one grade of junior high or high school, besides accomplishing all of her other responsibilities.

I want to thank you for what you are accomplishing with my daughter.  This course has been a lot harder than she anticipated (although I tried to warn her), and she has worked very hard.  She even had doubts at first as to whether she could do this, but we were adamant that she stick with this because we knew it would be a good experience - in several ways - for her.  She has gained a lot more confidence in herself and is learning a great deal.  One of the critical things that she has learned is not to procrastinate and to prioritize her time.  Mom and Dad can teach these things until we go crazy sometimes; but it often takes an outsider to get some of these concepts through.  We have seen some very noticeable and positive changes in her study habits as well since classes started - and that is VERY GOOD!

I know you have taken on a tremendous burden with these kids; and in my daughter's case, you ARE making a big difference in her life.  From my wife and I - THANK YOU!!!

I am so thankful for PEP because it is TRULY an extension of what we are teaching our children.  It is so important and such a blessing to have this program in our children's lives which confirms what we teach and is an encouragement to them.  It is also such a wonderful blessing to have the "school atmosphere" for them to enjoy without having to combat Satan's schemes from ungodly teachers and administrators and even other students.

We praise God for you and PEP.
