College Road Trip

Now that we've finally gotten the hang of high school transcripting, we face another challenge on the road to college:  testing!   There are so many letters involved in the names of these tests, requirements vary, testing sites differ, dates to remember, fees to be paid...ugh!  There is a whole other world out there just waiting to challenge the administration of our Upper School!  Please pray as you read this that the Lord would give us clear vision in this next leg of the journey as JDS and AMS continue on this college bound road.

For those traveling alongside us (or just slightly behind us), here is some information that might be of help to you and your student (from the Heart of Texas email):
