The challenging circumstances of the past fifteen months make them more pressing now than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>And these are precisely the kind of questions which motivate the planning of Artios Christian College\u2019s upcoming Summer Session, strategically scheduled to take place just before you turn the corner into the fall 2021 season.<\/p>\n<p>So mark your calendar: August 26-29.
