Methods of instruction |
Bethany uses a wide variety of training programs. Classroom instruction provides key cognitive skills. The mentoring program develops students' character through informal Bible studies and one-on-one mentoring sessions. Short-term missions trips make possible the development of practical skill sets. Prayer and worship opportunities form one's spiritual life. A 20-hour week work program enables students to grow in team work skills and personal development. |
