Meet Darryl Hunter
How long have you been a student at Ignite Christian Academy and what led you to enroll?
At my former school, I always felt that I was held back. I never did reach my full potential. For a short time, the school used the Ignitia program for their foreign language courses. So, when I heard about ICA, I saw it as an opportunity to bring out the best in me. Currently, this is my second year of enrollment and I love it.
What is your favorite subject and why?
History has always been a favorite of mine. It shows where we as humans have been and it can give hints as to where we are going. More importantly, it shows the mistakes our ancestors made. We can learn from them, and we don't have to make the same mistakes.

Meet Steve Pletsch
Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I have a bit of a unique story, so here goes. I attended Rockford Lutheran High School and was going to graduate in 1987. That's right, 27 years ago. Due to an unfortunate incident I left Rockford Lutheran and never finished high school. Last year I contacted my former school to see if there was any way I could still graduate. The people at Rockford Lutheran, especially the principal, were so helpful and referred me to Ignite Christian Academy. I only needed three classes to finish and I am half way through the last one now.
What is your favorite part of studying online as a non-traditional student?
Working online gives me the flexibility to work whenever I want. I feel like the curriculum is solid and easy to actually learn. English 4B is the class I am finishing up now. This English class has really forced me to think deeply. Most importantly, all of my teachers have been wonderful to work with. They are always flexible and quick to respond.

Meet Samantha Morgan
Describe yourself as a person.
I am a precocious 15-year-old who likes to stay busy and plan for the future.
What led you to enroll at Ignite Christian Academy?
In 2010 my parents pulled me out of traditional public school and decided to homeschool. After mixing and matching many curriculums, I had a hard time learning algebra and decided I wanted teacher support. When looking for an online academy in 2012, I was planning to become a veterinarian someday. Even though I've changed my decision since then, I thought the fact that ICA is accredited would make going to college easier.

I was born in New York City and love being around an eclectic group of people. I enjoy meeting people from different countries and backgrounds, tasting their foods, and getting to know who they are.
