Notes
From Parents and Students . . .
"As a biology tutor responsible for teaching college-prep
students at a tutorial in Nashville, Tennessee, I had high
expectations even before I arrived at Greg Landry’s anatomy and
physiology camp in June of 2008.""
"To say it exceeded my greatest hopes and imaginings as a
teacher is an understatement. For several years, I had been
searching for an experience which would drive home all the
academic concepts I had been trying to communicate to my
students over the course of the school year, especially in the
areas of biology/medicine. Finding a cadaver component for high
school students was definitely a pipe-dream until Greg came on
the scene!"
"After being in Greg’s lab for two days, the cadaver
experience paled in comparison to what was being offered to the
students at an academic and personal level. These students were
being given a unique opportunity to experience first-hand the
rigors of a college-level science course with someone who truly
cared and was interested in preparing them for the future.
Greg’s teaching style was firm yet inspirational, and, over the
course of a week, I saw many lives stirred and motivated through
the objectives Greg had designed for this camp."
"It is because of my interaction with Greg that I am now an
enthusiastic supporter both as a teacher and home schooling
parent for the week-long and weekend camps."
"Greg is a trustworthy and gifted teacher, and I believe
wholeheartedly that Greg’s passion and enthusiasm for this
subject matter will inspire and motivate a generation of
students to make an impact for Christ in the fields of science
and medicine for ‘such a time as this’."
Jodi Quint
Nashville, TN
"Greg Landry has been an answer to prayer for our family. As
a home schooling mom of three, I realized that I didn't have the
knowledge or time to teach my oldest son the high school level
science classes he needed for college. Mr. Landry's classes
filled this void and more!"
"Before taking Biology, my son didn't know how to study - a
major concern of mine. In a very short time I noticed that he
was developing a self-discipline and a love of learning that I
had not seen before. Because of Greg Landry's standard of
excellence and Christian values, I believe that my son will be
well prepared for college."
Karen Perry
Newland, NC
"Wow! c-sections, lungs, fetal calves, cadavers, bull
testicles, peeing in a cup, eating ice cream for breakfast,
brains, hearts, tracheas, blood typing, hematocrit, buffy coats,
glucose tolerance tests, lung functions tests, learning the ins
and outs of getting through college and into med school, and
lots of new friends who love anatomy and physiology! What else
could a girl ask for? I have more focus and determination to get
into med school now than ever before. I could have stayed for a
month."
June 2008 Camp Attendee
Greg, feel free to put this on your web site. Parents need
to read it. Parents, If your child is thinking about a medical
profession, they need to attend this camp. Greg does a beautiful
job of igniting a fire in the kids who are leaning toward a
medical or other science field and helping them to understand
exactly what they need to do and what their options are.
______________ loved his approach to teaching. She called me
every night excited to tell me about what they did that day. She
said she wants him to teach all of her high school science
classes. Greg, thank you!
Mom of June 2008 Camp Attendee
". . . besides being an engaging teacher, he also had a
great sense of humor."
June 2008 Camp Attendee
"My children have taken science classes from Greg Landry for
the past 4 years. Greg is a gifted teacher with a unique ability
to challenge his students while also increasing their
confidence."
"He is rigorous in the classic sense, he values writing skills,
cultivates time management and organizational habits, and helps
each student develop and adhere to long range plans. While his
students are learning these life skills, they are also becoming
scientists."
"I expect that the teaching in Greg's upper level science
classes is on par with university level courses. His students
thrive in this environment and learn the value of hard work. As
a homeschooler who struggled with biology and chemistry as a
student, Greg's classes provide my children with an opportunity
to learn about these subjects from an enthusiastic and well
informed teacher."
Cinda Payne-Smith
Boone, NC
"Greg Landry is a valuable member of our homeschool
community. He has the initiative and organizational skills to
get things done and do them well. A partial list of homeschool
activities he initiated includes homeschool olympics, baseball,
swimming, and family fun nights. He also oversees the HCCHS
(High Country Christian Home Schoolers) web site and email list
as a member of the HCCHS board."
"In the past several years Greg has taught a variety of courses
that are popular with our families. The courses are
well-organized and set high expectations for students. Overall,
Greg's leadership has created opportunities for families in our
group that otherwise would not be available."
James Wilkes, Ph.D.
Professor and Chair, Computer Science Department
Appalachian State University
Boone, NC
"The best recommendation I could give for Greg Landry as a
teacher would be to refer to his work as a Christian husband and
father. He and his wife, Nancy, manage an orderly, hospitable
home, and the fruit of their labors is evident in the lives of
their two daughters, both steadily growing to be Godly young
women as well as capable and conscientious students."
"A Christan husband and father well educated in the sciences, he
truly cares about his students and the learning task. He not
only challenges his students academically, he also encourages
them to pursue all knowledge to the glory of God. His science
classes have been a God-sent gift to our family!"
Renee Fuller
Boone, NC
"Greg, I can't tell you how much __________ enjoyed your
camp. They just can't say enough about it! They definitely
desire to return to another or more camps. If we participate in
the fall, it would probably have to be a weekend as __________
will be taking community college classes....unless they allow
for excused absences. Just please keep us informed on what your
thoughts and plans are."
"Again, the week was such a blessing and answer to prayer.
And from our conversations with _________, they experienced and
learned so many things .....about academics, rules, freedoms,
honesty, friendship...just to name a few. Thank you for
providing such an atmosphere for them to experience and learn
and grow. Good luck with the rest of this week at camp! I hope
you are getting some rest! Ha...is that possible on campus with
all that youthful energy?????"
Mom of June 2008 Camp Attendee
"My daughter took an Animal Science class with Greg Landry.
It was a very comprehensive class, much material was covered.
She had the opportunity to do several projects, learn time
management strategies, and he made it fun with frequent field
trips to correspond with the animals they were studying."
Drew Yount
West Jefferson, NC
"We have appreciated Greg's initiative in the homeschool
activities he has undertaken to organize and lead. We have
particularly noted his patience and enthusiasm as we have
observed him interacting with our children, and his diligent
efforts in accomplishing his goals."
John and Molly Barry
Sugar Grove, NC
"Science is not my strength as a homeschool mom...something
that I was never excited when I was in school. I have been so
thankful for my son and daughter to have had the opportunity to
study science with Greg Landry. He is excited and knowledgeable
about what he teaches and expands learning beyond just the
textbook."
"My children have been on fun and relevant field trips and taken
part in awesome experiments and other hands-on activities...and
all from a godly teacher and father who helps them understand
the wonder of God's creation in every aspect of what they are
learning. My children have been blessed by being in his
classes."
Merrill and Beth Littlejohn
Blowing Rock, NC
"Greg Landry taught my son Anatomy and Physiology. He is an
excellent teacher. He sees his students as individuals. He sets
a standard and calls them out to that place. I think this is
very important for young adults. He knows his subject and never
limits himself to a textbook. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend
Greg for any class he offered."
Dr and Mrs Matt Brown
Boone, NC
"Hi Greg, I meant to write you before now........ We just
wanted to let you know how much ___ enjoyed camp!! She is still
telling us stories and sharing her new knowledge of anatomy. She
has shared pictures via email with the new friends she made
there and was thrilled to be among students who shared similar
interests. We couldn't have asked for a better experience for
her! And the ride with _______ worked out wonderfully!"
"We thank you for all of that but most of all for giving us the
reassurance of her being in a safe, Christian environment. We
will let everyone here know about your program so you can be
expecting a few more __________ students in the future! Thanks
again and many blessings."
Mom of June 2008 Camp Attendee
"Greg Landry is an outstanding instructor. He has worked
with my daughter for the last year and a half. He taught her
Physical Science last year and this year, Biology. Even though
my daughter is one of the youngest in the class, he has
patiently worked along side of her. He challenges her to develop
good study habits, participate in class, and reach her
potential."
"Greg includes many fun activities in class as well. During the
first year with Greg, my daughter was among the students
categorized as "most improved" during the course of the year. I
believe this is due to Greg's excellent instruction and
consistent encouragement. I highly recommend Greg Landry as a
Christ-centered Science Teacher."
"We love you Greg!"
Samantha Stephens
Uphill Ministries at Cherokee Cove
Mountain City, TN
"Greg, thank you so much for allowing our daughter _________
this opportunity to experience first hand what could hopefully
be her career in the future. We both felt a genuine kindren and
care from you for the kids. We appreciate the structure and
guidance you offered. It allowed us to feel that our daughter
was safe with you. Thanks again.
Dad and Mom of June 2008 Camp Attendee
"I've gone to a "pre-med" camp in Florida for two years.
That was a lot of boring lectures with no depth. This was the
real thing and never a dull moment . . ."
June 2008 Camp Attendee
"I loved this camp! We did lots of incredible anatomy and
physiology, but I also liked listening to Mr. Landry talking to
us about getting into med school and other professional schools,
explaining the various medical professions and the education
they required, and his Life 101 talk . . ."
June 2008 Camp Attendee
I just wanted to let you that my experience at camp was
amazing! I learned so much and feel more than prepared for the
anatomy class that I am taking next year as a junior. It was a
great experience inside and outside the lab. Thanks for working
with ______ and I and allowing us to participate in the swim
night. I enjoyed seeing all the friends I had made outside the
classroom!
I would definitely be interested in an advanced camp. I think
that would be great. Thanks again for a great week at camp. Have
a good summer!"
June 2008 Camp Attendee
". . . being around other serious students who like anatomy and
physiology was awesome . . ."
