Fourth Year of Bios Christian Academy

As we look forward to the fourth year of Bios Christian Academy, I thought I would highlight the senior class of 2011.

Out of our eight graduates this year, three were either accepted or invited to Barret's Honor College at ASU. Combined with our first graduate, Austin being accepted into and attending Barret's, four out of our nine graduates in our first two senior classes have been accepted to Barret's Honor College. In addition, one of our other seniors was accepted into NAU's honors program. Giving our graduates five of nine being accepted to at least one honors program. One of our graduates who was already accepted to Barret's also earned acceptance into Texas Christian University's honors program.

Scholarships earned by our seniors the past two years also reflect their hard work and the challenging expectations at Bios. The average amount of accepted scholarships offered for the seniors was $46,858.

The schools, selected scholarships earned, and declared major are as follows:

Austin-ASU Barret's Honors; President's; engineering

Jacob-TCU honors;ASU-President's and TCU-Dean's; chemistry

Tim-Cal Baptist; President's and Engineering; engineering

Ian- Westmont; ASU-Healthcare; kinesiology

Emily-ASU Barret's Honors;Provost; nursing

Beth-Arizona Christian; President's; photo journalism

Bethany-NAU honors; Merit and 100 Club; chemistry

Kyle- Chandler-Gilbert CC; computers

Raynie- Murrieta Bible College; Bible

As you probably noticed, five of our nine graduates went to Christian colleges and universities. Four went to out of state schools and only two went to the same university.

As you can see, there is a lot for us to be thankful for in the opportunities provided to the Bios graduates.
