Ignite Christian Academy is excited to offer our families the opportunity to win a full scholarship to ICA by participating in our Promoting and Encouraging Affordable Christian Education (PEACE) program.
The goal of the PEACE program is to share the benefit of attending an online Christian academy with friends and family. By sharing your ICA story with others and encouraging them to enroll, you can also qualify to win 5 year-long classes at Ignite Christian Academy.
Now through the end of June, refer your friends to Ignite Christian Academy and qualify for the PEACE program scholarship drawing. For each friend who enrolls, you'll earn the standard $100 tuition credit* plus have your name entered in the scholarship drawing.**
Referring friends is easy according to ICA mom Stacie Shelton, a pastor's wife and mother of four from Texas. Shelton began educating her kids through Ignite Christian Academy more than 10 years ago.
"Some people are overwhelmed with the thought of homeschooling their kids," she said, recalling her own apprehensions as her kids approached their high school years. "I just want to show them there's a way to give their kids an incredible Christian education."
With an abundant population of homeschoolers at her church, Shelton often sparks conversation about ICA by chatting with congregation members about the curriculum they use. After learning more about each unique situation, she introduces her friends to Ignite Christian Academy.
"Think about how much it's helped you," Shelton offers as a bit of advice to current ICA families interested in referring friends. "You need to share that with others, just like we share the gospel."
Shelton recommends inviting friends into your home to view the curriculum in person. She lets interested families observe classes and walks them through the parent mode for a firsthand look at how the academy can work well for their family.
"It's easy to get wrapped up in your house and your homeschool. With ICA I'm still involved but I don't carry the weight and responsibility, and that's huge," Shelton said.
Over the years Shelton has introduced several families to Ignite Christian Academy, including her sister Lisa Moltz whose daughter enrolled two years ago. Following in her sister's footsteps, Moltz has referred five families since joining the academy in 2012, enhancing the education of her friends' children and saving her own family money on tuition.
