Student Testimonials
Letter from a former student #1:
“I sincerely offer my recommendation of Mr. Scott Clifton as a highly competent teacher and Christian man. As one of his former pupils, I appreciate his vast knowledge of English and his original insight into many scholarly arenas such as history, government, and literature. He is also an astounding mathematician. In Mr. Clifton, one finds an array of talents rare to a single person.
“When I was a student in his class, I discovered that Mr. Clifton made every class interesting and memorable. Seemingly dry topics became captivating through his employment of attention-grabbing facts and historical audio-visuals. Encouraging lively classroom discussions and debates, prodded students to voice their opinions on matters both historical and current. I excelled in his classes and felt that they better prepared me for the SAT and for future college coursework.
“Mr. Clifton is hilarious. With his terrific sense of humor, he blends wit and learning to create a rewarding and yet enjoyable educational experience.
“When Mr. Clifton becomes your teacher, he also becomes your friend. During the time I was in his high school class, I found that he laughed with the students who were happy and showed compassion toward those students who were hurting. Mr. Clifton is encouraging, polite, and honest. He is a strong Christian man with a robust moral code. In short, he is an outstanding teacher and a great friend. I highly recommend him to anyone considering his classes.”

Letter from a former student #2:
“When I first visited your class...I realized this was the class I wanted to be in. Students freely expressed their ideas. You taught the class from a Christian and Constitutional perspective. You weren't afraid to teach the truth about subjects most teachers avoided altogether.
“When I started my freshman year with you, many things took me by surprise. Usually teachers have one area of expertise, but you were exceptionally good in every area you taught in....A class didn't go by where I didn't laugh. That alone made it easier for us to learn and easier for us all to become close friends. You were always coming up with new and creative ways for us to learn....Jeopardy! became our study guide....Creating our own business gave us a crash course in economics. And the composition assignments were always stimulating.
“Under your teaching, I have been able to become academically independent. When faced with opposing viewpoints, I am able to listen and critically evaluate each argument. I am forever in your debt. You not only opened my mind, but then you taught me how to apply it in everyday life....I know God will use you to bless many lives.”
