Homeschool Students
A Note From Twila Paris
Dear Homeschool Student,
I know you must be deeply grateful to your parents for their commitment to providing a Christ-centered education for you. I believe it will positively affect your ability to find and fulfill God’s calling on your life. My husband and I have also chosen to homeschool our son.
Soon you will be entering a new phase of your education, and you have a big decision to make—where to attend college. As you weigh your many options, I invite you to consider Ecclesia College.
Ecclesia is a work learning college, which, along with financial aid and deep scholarships, enables the institution to offer private, Christ-centered higher education for the same (or lower) out-of-pocket costs as a secular state school. Along with high academic standards, they also place a heavy emphasis on discipleship, Christian mentoring, and a Biblical foundation for learning. As you may know, the word “Ecclesia” is Greek for “called out ones”.
Because Ecclesia is a small and friendly school, determined to prepare students to stand firm in their faith and truly be salt and light their chosen fields of vocation, it has proven to be an ideal choice for a growing number of homeschoolers.
Wherever God leads you, I pray for and expect great things as you continue to grow in following Him.
Blessings,
Twila

Congratulations to Northwest Arkansas homeschooler, Kale McClarty who won first place in the first round of the Rotary 4 Way Test Speech Contest!
Kale presented his poignant speech titled “True Love“ before approximately 150 Northwest Arkansas professional and community leaders, and made an impression as a thoughtful young Christian, convinced by faith that Jesus demonstrated the ultimate proof of love and service when he laid down His life for us. Beautifully executed, and with the backdrop of the Rotary Club’s purpose—providing loving service to local communities—Kale’s talk was well-received.
Jennifer Hutchins, who teaches English at Ecclesia College and Ecclesia Prep, coached Kale and celebrated his victory along with his fellow Prep students. (Ecclesia Prep is a service of Ecclesia College, offering classes and activities to area homeschoolers.) Pictured above are Jennifer Hutchins, Kale McClarty and Oren Paris III, President of Ecclesia College. Kale will be competing in the next level of the competition on February 27th at the University of Arkansas.
Special recognition goes to 2nd place winner, Payton Hanby and 3rd place winner, Abby Rice. Springdale professional leaders involved in the facilitation of the Rotary 4 Way Test Speech Contest include Rotary President, Rolf Wilkin, Contest Co-chairs, Oren Paris III and Julie Olsen, HarBer speech coach, Ta-Neisha Marshall, and SHS sponsor, Cliff Langford.
