👨🏫 Meet Your Instructor
My name is Bryce. I am the owner of Life Foundations Academy and the instructor for this course. Here is my profile:
🎓Education: Bachelors of Kinesiology from Cal Baptist University. California Single Subject Credential in Biology.
😃 Hobbies: Overall, I enjoy spending time with my young family (two littles and a beautiful wife). I also love fitness, coffee, hiking, and campfires with close friends.
📋 Experience: I have been teaching online and in-person for about 5 years. Teaching is a passion of mine. I love to make complicated concepts simple and engaging.
📍 Why am I thrilled to teach this class? An avid believer and passionate evangelist throughout high school, my faith shattered after a long conversation with a UCLA World Religions and Philosophy professor my senior year. This class summarizes years of personal research to show how I discovered that Christianity stands alone and that my faith is not a blind one.

What Could You Do With $2000? 💸
☑ If you pass the CLEP upon finishing, every 3-unit course you take with us will save you an average of almost $2000.
☑ Many students (including myself) have bypassed a year of college before graduating high school using CLEP.
☑ Certain schools like Thomas Edison State University even allow you to test out of a massive portion of your degree (multiple years) through CLEP.
☑ Each course here is built directly from the outline of these tests. You will be ready to register and take the test upon completing the course and studying with the resources provided.
