Meet the Reguieras
“COTK College is a tremendous gift to our family. It’s a path that has helped my daughter grow spiritually, mentally and physically. It has helped her learn her purpose. She is a part of a forever family. I asked her if she could change her decision where would she go and she said she is right where she belongs. She is thriving and so happy. I know that her foundation is rock solid. This is a path that a parent can only dream of and it’s a reality. Literally brings me to tears. I also have a son that just graduated high school and he is about to join his sister at COTK College now. My heart just overflows with gratitude and love!”
