"My daughter has been taking the Year 4 rhetoric Literature and History classes — and I cannot say enough great things about her experience! She is thoroughly enjoying the classes! I am so impressed with how the classes are structured, and how her teachers are always reinforcing a biblical worldview through the Year 4 curriculum."
"I am consistently amazed by the professionalism and organization of the Learning Center."
"I just wanted to voice my thrill for the Learning Center! It has been so helpful, and I have never seen my son so motivated to get his work done!"
"If I could give three 'thumbs up,' I would!"
The Lampstand Learning Center is committed to the Socratic discussion method used by the Tapestry of Grace curriculum. In order to provide a dynamic discussion for all students, we have limited our history and literature courses to an average of ten students per section. Our writing classes also have limited enrollment.
