A Focus on Christ Brings Success
“As a student who has gone through the Wisdom Booklets and had to rely on the knowledge I’d gained from them, I can tell you that they are without a doubt an incredible source of education.
“Mom and Dad followed 2 Peter 1:5 in raising us, ‘Giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge.’ Their goal for us was to achieve Christlike character, and everything else was secondary to this priority. The Wisdom Booklets became the center of our school—they were used not as textbooks, but as tools to help us gain Christ’s image.
“Besides extra math and history, everything else came from reading the Wisdom Booklets, doing the wisdom searches and projects, studying the character qualities, and everything else the Wisdom Booklet studies entail. These things were done with the goal of building our faith and learning of our heavenly Father. World knowledge was not ignored, but it was not the focus of our education.
“Having this kind of educational background, I thought I’d be somewhat lacking in the ‘usual’ kind of knowledge. I was a bit apprehensive as I began science courses for nursing school at a local college, especially since I’d done no science studies apart from the Wisdom Booklets.
“I have now taken anatomy, microbiology, and chemistry, and I have been at the top of all three classes. This is completely due to the Lord’s wisdom and grace—I am not a genius by any stretch of the imagination! I am amazed at the things that we cover in lectures that I had already learned years ago in our family’s Wisdom Booklet studies! These resources are outstanding when used with learning character as the goal!”

Children Motivated to Search for Wisdom
“We began home educating with ATI in the fall of ’99 after attending the Admissions Conference in Indianapolis. The application of this training material has shown us that God will work in our lives as we use His Word, study the lives of faithful Christians, and practically apply the truth of Scripture to everyday living. This is a new way of home educating!
“Prior to enrolling in ATI, we taught our girls at home for three years using a variety of Christian-based studies. We found these studies to be uninteresting and tedious. My husband wanted our children to be taught at home, but found that he focused all his attention at work and had little input into the day-to-day activities of our ‘school at home.’
“With the ATI material and my husband’s strong leadership, we have the practical resources we need. We greatly enjoy our early morning Wisdom Searches, and if we miss a day, the girls are disappointed. We are so thankful to those who spent years fasting, praying, and researching to bring us this wisdom that spurs us on to be more like Jesus. God bless you.”

As the Baton is Handed Down
“My family recently attended our first ATI Training Conference. I have never felt such gratitude for people I had never met as I did there. This program is truly more precious than gold! With every Wisdom Booklet we study, every resource we cover, every Character Sketch we read, every Scripture mediation worksheet we fill out, every Greek lesson we learn, I am amazed at the wisdom from God’s Word found in the curriculum of ATI.
“I thank God for all the parents that have held on to this over the years and have made it better and better for me to be able to step into a program such as ATI. This would not have been possible without the faith and dedication of all those who have walked before me. I owe each one of you so much for making this program what it is today. I pray that as the baton is handed down to me, I will be as faithful as you have been.”
