The Bahamas

So as many of you may know we have the option to move to the Bahamas in January. Many people have been asking about this particular event and I just thought I would write down what is going on so that everyone knows what's up.

Christopher has gotten accepted into a program called "PAcE". PAcE stands for Progressive Academic Education. This is a scholars program that was developed a few years ago that is designed for the idea that some students don't learn best through the standard didactic teaching approach. Instead of going to class and being lectured to by a professor for hours everyday, the founders of this scholars program thought that some students might learn better via a more interactive and independent program. There are also other additional added bonus's to being in the program such as quizzes that are then discussed by the professors that have questions on them, and other clinical cases that make the information that is learned more relevant. So by applying to this program and obtaining an appropriate GPA he was accepted to join this program.

Now this program is important to understand because this particular program is the only group of students that are being relocated to a new campus located in Freeport, Grand Bahamas. The new campus is only taking 240 students. That will include only third and fourth semester students.

This sounds like a great opportunity, but we have some reservations about going. We have been given very little information about the campus and learning facilities that are in Freeport, Grand Bahamas. So we are a little hesitant to be the guinea pigs of this new campus that is being opened. We have heard that we will hear more information about the campus by the middle of October. Please be praying that whatever decision we make is where God wants us to be and not our own desires and that we choose the best option for Christopher's schooling because that is the # 1 most important thing in this decision. We will keep you updated on our decision.
