Providing a Virtual
High School Education

Mission Statement

Abiding Peace Virtual School is dedicated to providing a Christian high school education for students who could benefit from a virtual school experience.

While in-person education remains the best model for the teaching/learning experience, not all students can experience that model. Abiding Peace Virtual School exists to provide a virtual Christian high school experience for those around the world who could benefit from the virtual school option.

The Abiding Peace Virtual School operates as a parachurch organization with a 501,c3 status.

To the Users of the Abiding Peace Virtual School

First of all, thank you for considering this pioneering effort of the Third Way at virtual schooling. We are learning much as we proceed one step at a time. That means we have quite a bit more to learn. For that reason we beg your patience, your forbearance, and your constructive input as we proceed. We commit ourselves to do our very best from our end. We solicit your best cooperation on your end.

Christian Light Education unapologetically and continually promotes God-fearing values in the midst of all the swirling confusion on the educational scene. Children must understand that the Sovereign Lord of the Universe does not change, that Christ remains an anchor to stabilize believers in the midst of social change, and that Christ is worthy of unfailing trust. Home, school, and church reinforce each other in this effort.

Because this virtual school is a pioneering effort, we are launching on a small scale. We plan to increase our offerings in the future. Please consider our offerings shown below. Abiding Peace Virtual School invites prospective students to choose any of the following subjects. Virtual school students need to be at least 14 years of age to enroll in any of the classes. (Exceptions will be considered.)

If in-person Christian School classes would be interested in any of the subjects offered, a school representative may contact us to work out practical details. A 20% discount is offered for classes consisting of 5 or more students.) Or if any group of people, church or youth group, age 14 or above would be interested in any of the subjects offered, a group representative may contact us. Abiding Peace Virtual School seeks to serve the Christian community by providing virtual school opportunities for as many people as possible.
