\u201cI was born and raised here in Waterloo, Iowa. I\u2019ve always been very Waterloo-proud. When I went to college, I wanted to get some experience to bring back to this area \u2013 I\u2019ve always wanted to come back and be a source of light in my community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am married with four daughters, my eldest is nine. Right around the time we started having kids, and as my kids continued to get older, we began thinking about how we were going to educate them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI first met my co-founder, Kendall, about 10 years ago. We started having kids around the same time and we had these discussions with each other. We both had a desire to homeschool, but as the second and third child came along, I started to question whether that\u2019s what was best. But we both came to conclusion that we should do it together, and we began homeschooling out of a Sunday school classroom at my church.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had this really great thing going because Kendall is a licensed Spanish teacher, so she would teach our kids in Spanish one week and then I would come in and teach the curriculum in English the following week. We started having parents drop-in and ask if they could bring their kids or if this was something we were going to expand. That\u2019s what led us to start thinking how we could grow it into what it is today, Royal Legacy Christian Academy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe noticed there was a real gap in educational access in town. We always wanted our children to experience education seamlessly with their faith, we didn\u2019t want them to have to compartmentalize their faith. We wanted a more holistic education for our kids. At the same time, we saw there were other families in our community that loved what we were doing but didn\u2019t have the capacity to homeschool \u2013\u00a0whether it was because they worked or they were single parents.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey wanted it, but they couldn\u2019t access it. We felt strongly that all kids should have the opportunity to choose this type of education.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cParents that make a choice about the best education for their child based on what they value should not be penalized. They shouldn\u2019t be locked out of making that choice because the financial barrier is too high. Education savings accounts will make it possible for many families to choose the path they know is best for their child.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a year of praying and planning, we opened the doors to Royal Legacy Christian Academy in 2018, with 28 students. We remain the only full Spanish immersion school in the Cedar Valley.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal of the program is for our children to be equally proficient in all four competencies of both English and Spanish. With the \u2018early total one-way\u2019 method, kindergarten through early elementary is taught exclusively in Spanish, and then slowly, we add a little bit more English in the upper elementary grades. So, my third grader is getting language arts and history in English right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt's very frustrating knowing that public schools get money for the students that we're educating. Education savings accounts would help us tremendously and would give us the ability to extend the unique opportunity and education we offer to more families in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEducation savings accounts would empower families to choose what is best for their kids. They would give parents the ability to choose the path that best corresponds to what is important for them. Faith is important, small class sizes are important, language learning and immersion is important. That combination is unique to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe offer tuition on a sliding scale and many of our families are on the lower end of that scale, with what they can afford to pay. But even with a sliding scale, it\u2019s a stretch for some of our families. Putting dollars behind the child with education savings accounts would be so affirming and empowering for our families. It would give many more families the ability to choose the education that fits their values and child\u2019s needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
