Reformation International College (RIC) began in 1996 and offers a Bachelor of Arts in Education (B.A.E.) program; it was offered to students in the United States who wanted to meet the educational requirements not only for Christian schools, but also other public and private schools which require Teacher’s Certification. For more information, see our course descriptions/flyer below:
NOTE: The courses listed for the 4 years are subject to change. In the past, this curriculum was modeled around preparing students to take the Florida State Teacher’s Certification Exam (and would help in preparations for other states as well), but more recently has primarily been used for personal enrichment and to train teachers in Christian schools, particularly Christian Liberty Academy in Suriname.
**Tuition costs are $75/credit hour, with some possible discounts if courses are completed in a timely manner**
