You may know that private school in Virginia were recently put under attack with the proposed House Bill 359, which would remove state and federal tuition assistance for any private school that did not conform to the Virginia Standards of Learning. This bill would have threatened religious instruction as well as our covenantal model, which requires all parents and teachers to sign a Statement of Faith to work at or attend our school.
On February 10, Logic and Rhetoric school teacher Chris Harris and our class of seniors went to Richmond to speak out against HB 359. Elijah A., who receives funding to be able to attend Regents, spoke at a press conference and the students met with one of our state senators. We are grateful to share that HB 359 was defeated for this year, and continue to pray for no further attacks on our freedom of religion.
