School Notes

  • Established in 1990. No cell phones or radiation emitting devices are used in regular class study. This school is "Electro Magnetic Hypersensitive" (EMH) friendly. Basic academics are taught, but all students progress at different levels, as our testing follows US Naval Aviation standards... 100% passing on all quizzes in order to advance. Besides standard academics, additional studies include: Christian Heritage Constitutional History, Pilot and Space studies, Medical, including Natural therapies and alternative medicine, Trades, Agriculture (including seed collection and preservation), Survival (including food canning), Self Defense, Military training. Entrepreneurship and Foreign Languages. Classes are in session most of the year giving our students many more in class hours than standard schools. This allows a great degree of flexibility, so families can take off any time of the year without falling short of in class time legalities. Drop off as early as 7am, pick up as late as 7pm, with overnights and boarding available. Nebraska used to dominate educational levels in the US, but now most schools drop students into classrooms with a computer tablet and put them on auto pilot. We want to bring back old school learning and combine it with cutting edge accelerated learning techniques. Our curriculum was first started in 1988 in Japan while engaged with the Japanese Ministry of Education. In 1990, in southern Japan, full time classes for elementary and JH students began. IN the year 2000, instruction extended to 1 year olds up through college age students. This includes being one of only two DSST college testing centers in Japan and the only fully funded US military testing center in Japan. At this time, we are accredited in Japan but not yet in Nebraska. We are working on that accreditation, but it does not affect our academic standards, as we far surpass accreditation requirements. In 2020, the expansion into Nebraska was delayed because of the COVID travel restrictions, but our pilot program with part time high school students started in 2023. Now we are ready to begin full time classes that parallel our Japanese classes, which for 5 consecutive years swept the area academic contests.
