What Makes BAVEL Different? Personal touch Serving all students Typical day

Parent Testimonial “Thank you so much for giving my child the confidence to do well on his work…it boosted his self esteem and made him work even harder…everyone needs teachers like the group that Jacob has had with BAVEL. Thank you very much!” - Sandy, BAVEL parent

Parent Testimonial “I really appreciate the interest you've taken in helping Hillary. She had made up her mind there was nothing else to do (but quit and get a GED) and I had just about given up, began to think she might be right. Blessings come when we least expect them. Thank you!” - Cindy, BAVEL parent

Parent Perspective “I am really pleased with her progress and commitment to her work. I really see a difference in her and her interest in school work again.” - Chrissy, BAVEL Parent “This is a great service to meet the needs of students and parents who have chosen a nontraditional form of completing High School.” - Joey, BAVEL Parent

Student Testimonial “Thomas Moore College doubled my scholarship and Xavier accepted me AND I got a $40,000 scholarship!!! I was so excited I cried! Without your help and BAVEL I couldn't be where I am today. Thanks for being such an amazing person and helping to make my future as bright as possible.” –Samantha, professional model

Student Testimonial “…My life is really exciting, wild, frustrating, and I am doing my best to stay caught up. I can't wait to finally graduate, and give all three of my kids a gift they will appreciate in the future.” Jeana, 19 year old mother and BAVEL graduate

Student Perspective “I started BAVEL classes in August of 2007 to obtain my high school diploma. had been home schooled my entire scholastic education and would have had to obtain a G.E.D. instead. I felt that the independent learning experience better prepared me for college and any other future endeavors I may have. I plan on taking online college classes next year majoring in Information Technology.” -Ashley, BAVEL Graduate

Student Testimonial Thanks, I feel even more relieved since I've completed my sophomore year. I owe it all to you, because if you hadn't supported me through this whole mess I don't know what would have happened. I want to thank you for all you've done for me. Even if I do go back I'll still keep in contact with you because you are special to me. Thanks for all your time, support, and help. Corey

A word from the graduates… “It’s been really difficult to take care of school, keep a steady living situation, and try to get myself into a career all at once. Without the flexibility of these programs it wouldn't have been possible.” – Robbie, BAVEL graduate
