Breaking uncharted territory, she has taken the only ICAA virtual school to a level of excellence without compromise. Using her expertise as an administrator in a traditional Christian school, she has successfully transitioned her leadership training to an online virtual school environment, and has led the way in assisting classroom teachers to become leading Christian educators in a virtual school environment.”

For religious universities, this has raised concern that political agendas could be imposed on their missions. (See "New Rules Worry Christian Colleges," November 1, 2010.)
