Boarding Opportunity #1:
Introduction to David Treece: This past year 2015-2016 season was my first year at Logos School after having been homeschooled for ten years. As an18-year-old boarding student, I am completing the 10
th grade program at Logos because that was the only class that had an opening. I hope to return to Logos for one more year of study. Since I will be 19 by next May, my parents will graduate me as a homeschool student back in Texas. My father had pastored three different churches in the Dallas, TX area for 27 years before having retired from pastoring 15 months ago. My father now devotes his time to running his business, which he started ten years ago in order to have the financial resources to Christian education his children, even through college. There are 8 children in our family of which I am the 4
th child, with 1 older brother, 2 older sisters (all three married), and 4 younger sisters. My older two siblings are students at NSA. My brother finished his bachelor’s degree last year from NSA and has continued on this year with the master’s degree program. My sister will be graduating from NSA in May with her bachelor’s. Both siblings and their spouses are members of Trinity Reformed Church. Last summer Brent and Sandy Belschner graciously agreed to let me board in their home along with three other NSA students who were already contracted with them. I have enjoyed staying with the Belschners very much. Unfortunately, none of the other boarders are returning next year. The Belschners have agreed to board me anyway, but I would actually prefer to have some male roommates since the remaining children at the Belschner home are daughters. They understand that I am looking for other possible options for next year. I enjoy playing the piano and singing as well as playing basketball and running track. If there is any family who either has teenager sons at Logos or who are boarding male NSA students and would consider adding me as a boarder next year, please contact me at
davidtreece4@gmail.com. The Belschners are willing to be a reference for me as well if you would like to ask them questions at
belscher@gmail.com .
Boarding Opportunity #2:
The following student has been accepted to Logos and is looking for a boarding situation for 2016-17. A typical range for boarding a high school student is $7,000-$10,000 for 9 months. If you would like more information please contact me.
