Testimonials from Students
"Now I feel closer to God"
Student: “The class was about the way of beauty, and how God speaks to us through beauty. It was a really great class. I loved the discussions we had during class, and now I feel closer to God through the beauty in the world. I’d definitely recommend that other people take this course!”
"Mr. Donaghy is a great teacher"
Student: “I already loved the Lord of the Rings but now I love it even more! I am reading the Simarilion for the first time and have a greater understanding of what is happening because of this class. The two essays we had to write related well back to the subject and I enjoyed writing them. Mr. Donaghy is a great teacher!”
"It got me going with writing essays"
Student: “The homework assignments were tough and required a lot of thinking, but it got me going with writing essays. Keep up the good work with these classes! Thanks!”
