Mount Bethel Church is blessed to support our community of homeschool families with Alongside Hybrid Academy [AHA].
AHA desires to come alongside each homeschool family regardless of the curriculum or approach the family is utilizing for instruction at home.
AHA employs educational best practices with hands-on learning that develops the students' inquisitive discovery of skills and information related to language arts, math, science and history.
AHA integrates Scriptural Truths within the learning structure to encourage our faith walk with the Lord in personal ways on a daily basis.
Feel free to call the church office and leave a message for Dr. Kathy Hontz to call you back, if you have any questions (570-897-7142).
