Testimonials

Vadim and Anastasia, Alexandra Eck’s parents – Moscow, Russia”

It has been four years. Four long years of welcome home and good byes. She wasn’t even 15 years old yet when she kissed us in the airport and she bravely took the step into the unknown.
We didn’t even fully understand how everything was going to turn out. First semester was agonizingly slow. After awhile it got better and easier and we started to get used to seeing her twice a year. Later we gradually realized that we made the right choice and the right decision. How did it express?
Every time she came back home we would see a whole new person: a little more mature, more independent, serious and less talkative, sometimes thoughtful, but still happy and full of joy. And what made us most happy was her responsibility and the desire to achieve her goals.
At the same time we understood that we are almost deprived of any parental interference, any influence upon bringing her up. We simply did not have enough time for it during those short breaks she spent at home. But every time she came back we felt and understood that there was no need in it. And every time we wanted to express a special gratitude to the Canyonville Academy staff members for the colossal work they put in.
After all fifteen through nineteen is a special age.
We sincerely state:
You gave us an educated, well brought up and an independent daughter;
You taught her to be responsible for her actions and words;
you taught her to work hard and to finish what is started;
You taught her to win;
And the most important – you taught her to think.
