We believe in contact training but some students cannot get to classes so we have developed a distance solution:

Calvary Academics © The Distance Tutor 1. 1.Appoint a Distance Tutor who lives near the student. (The student may also help by finding one.) 2. 2.Guide the Tutor to: spend time with the student for encouragement explain the material and our e-learning method Disciple the student to form Christlike character
