FROM SUPD ATTENDEES
MARIA PETERSEN
SHERIDAN HILLS CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
“It was a great time of learning and fellowship. I look forward to connecting with my fellow teachers who understand the complexities of our job.”
MARIA ESPERT
CALVARY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY HOLLYWOOD
“This was my first time at this gorgeous event. I was so impressed with all the organization. The sessions were so amazing and made me feel part of a. blessed community with a mission..”
SILVANA FLANAGAN
JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
“I am very glad that I attended the conference. It has been a beautiful time of fellowship among Christian educators who want to continue growing professionally with the biblical foundations firmly rooted. What I took away from this conference is that we must defend biblical truth, love, identity and meaning. My challenge is to continue speaking the truth of God based on biblical foundations, not normalizing what the world makes us believe is correct by going against the Christian view of education.”
CHELSEA GUNN
JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
“It’s such an advantage for schools to unite and share their wisdom and expertise to further the kingdom and resource one another for what God’s called us to do.”
