These four children attend a small Christian school in town. Eniko, Stefan & Geza have been there for the past two years and Daniela will begin this fall in first grade. There are many reasons why these specific kids are in this school. Obviously we appreciate that it has a Christian value system and Christian teachers for the kids. It also has very small classes and teachers who are willing to work with our children's special needs.
Eniko is in a class with only 5 other girls for her 6th grade year this year. Her teacher takes time to explain things to her and help her to understand. With Eniko having been so behind in school when she came to us, this has been a huge blessing. She would not be making nearly the progress she is if not for this special attention.
Geza has special needs in the area of attention and focus. He is very bright and loves to figure things out, but has a very hard time keeping focused on something and with some of his other social needs, the small class size and an understanding teacher are the only thing that keep him from getting lost in the crowd of the classroom and being left behind.
Stefan began at Alpha Omega (this small school) in first grade. When he came to us he was just about to start kindergarten and did not talk much and had language and developmental delays. He grew with leaps and bounds due to much one on one instruction outside of his kindergarten class and as he began first grade we saw much potential for him to continue to grow and excel if he was in the right environment.
Daniela shows the same potential to excel in this school where if the student is ready the teachers will challenge them to the next level.
We seek to put each child in the best educational environment for their needs. For these four we feel that this is the right place. Alpha Omega is the only "private" school in our area, so while our other kids go to school for "free"... we must pay a tuition of $1100 per child per year for them to attend this school. If you are interested in helping us with this tuition cost for this school year, you can send a check to our business office or contact kelly@livada.org.
As all our kids prepare to return to school this fall, the youngest entering first grade and our first entering high school. Please pray that each will reach their academic potential, that each will have a good friend in their class, that our educators will be able to build a good relationship with each child's teacher and work together with them well, that we will be aware of the children's needs related to school; whether they be academic, behavioral, social or emotional and have the wisdom and patience to work through them correctly. Thank you!
