    “I met John and Anne Van Fossen years ago through a summer conferences of educators, and since that time they have become a great encouragement and support to me in my own efforts to build an Orthodox school. They are truly teachers at heart having taught and created curricular materials for a variety of subject areas and age groups. Within the world of classical and liberal arts Christian schools the Van Fossens are well known, being participants in many seminars and colloquia related to issues of importance to private schools. They have vision, creativity, intellect, and hearts clearly devoted to the Church.” –Bryan Smith, Headmaster of St. Peter’s Classical School, Director of the Orthodox Christian School Association

It is actually through you and your teaching and your classes that I became really interested in the Classics in the first place.” — Nathanael C., Armenia

  • “Both CLRC classes my son has taken have far exceeded my expectations. He has also taken two online classes through our local public virtual school and they don’t even compare to the CLRC classes. The fact that the classes meet “in-person” makes all the difference.

    “I  wanted to reach out and thank you for the extraordinary courses you offer that my daughter has been able to utilize for homeschooling. We began homeschooling 5 years ago when she was still quite young.   What began as an “experiment” quickly turned into our preferred/only option.  A large part of that success is not only due to you and your school’s offerings, but the teaching style and approach of the instructors towards students. It just made learning so much fun for her. My daughter has been accepted into college at Texas A&M University’s Engineering Academy starting this fall!  As she embarks on this next phase of her educational journey, we are so grateful that the teachings she has received through CLRC will carry her forward.”
    –Jessica S., Texas

    “Learning a new language can be extremely frustrating; what I appreciate about the classes at CLRC is that my children are not frustrated as they learn. Anne is sensitive to their learning styles; as she introduces new concepts, she spends the needed time with them. Things move at a nice pace, but when there is that bump-in-the-road she is sensitive to slow down for her students.” –Cheryl G.
