About Our Program:

Our program was founded by Cindy Lien, a Chinese Christian who has a passion for giving Chinese families the ability to give their children a high quality Christian education. She also hopes to prepare many of her students to attend universities in the United States. Cindy has founded several schools within China to aid in meeting these goals, but she has found that it is at times difficult to find enough native English-speaking teachers to educate the students onsite. Therefore, she has branched into an online platform as well. Her goal is to connect students with quality educators to assist in reaching their education potential as well as share Christ with these individuals. Students attending our online classes will come from a variety of backgrounds such as Christian schools, homeschools, or public schools. It is our hope that we will be able to find educators will to take on the challenge of reaching and teaching these young people.
