Abundant Life Academy believes that God is calling us to serve each and
every family that contacts us. In working towards that end we provide you
the below list of free/low cost programs to help you. 
 
You need to do extensive research into these programs, such as calling the
Better Business Bureau, the Chamber of Commerce in the town where the school
is located and possibly visit if you can to make sure it is what it says it
is. We provide this list to our parents who cannot afford our program or
others like it. Abundant Life Academy is in no way associated with any of
these programs and we do not represent these programs in any way. Abundant
Life Academy is not liable in any form for the choice of program that you
choose to send your child to. We do not vouch in any way for any of these
programs. This list is provided to help you find a program suitable for your
financial needs. When we come across a program that is free or low cost we
add it to this list as a resourse for needy parents. That is the end of our
involvement with the below stated programs.

The most important factor in making this decision is to seek the face of the
Lord in prayer and ask HIM for His will for your child and then be obedient
to His will. Jesus does have a purpose and a plan for your childs life as it
states in Jeremiah 29:11. We believe if you seek His will He will answer
you!
