Interested in Driving School for December??

From Mandy Hunt –

Thought other homeschoolers might also be interested in a driving class.

Valentine Driving School is offering a class December 7th for the Beaufort location ONLY for only $200. So it’s a pretty good special for December that class is usually $260.  They do have a Walterboro class December 14th and the special for that class is $235.  The special is lower for Beaufort right now, so he can get the word out that he has classes available in Beaufort.

Thanks~Mandy

BJU Offering online & dual enrollment courses

From Bob Jones University –

BJU is trying to reach out more to the homeschool community and wanted to pass along the following information to our homeschool community.

Many homeschoolers are interested in taking online courses or dual credit courses.  BJU offers both of these at half-off for high school juniors and seniors (see www.bjuonline.com).

Did you know that more than  30% of Bob Jones University’s student body graduated from homeschool programs, and as a group, they earn a higher college GPA than those educated in traditional schools?

One reason for this is that BJU professors are dedicated to helping you adapt and excel in your education and career preparation. BJU prepares you academically, socially and spiritually, and focuses on educating you to reflect and serve Christ in whatever vocation He calls you to.

Please let us know if you are interested in a BJU Admission representative coming to talk to your homeschool group about BJU and the importance of a Christian education. Call 800-252-6363 for more information.

Visit bju.edu and see the exciting opportunities BJU has to offer. Even better, come visit usand see for yourself if BJU is right for you.
