Q: Do I have to use the Discover Bible School’s online Student Record System (SRS)?

A: Yes. Our user-friendly online platform is designed to help you keep track of your student’s progress and allows us to assist you and your student if any issues arise while they are taking the Bible course.

Q: Do I need to obtain a PO Box to be a volunteer Bible instructor?

A: Yes. Many instructors get permission to use their local church PO Box to send and receive mail. If the church box is not available, instructors can use their own personal PO Box or obtain an extra small box at their local Post Office. As another option, a Private Mailbox (PMB) can also be rented from The UPS Store or from another business in your area that provides this service.

Q: How much does the postage cost for one student to complete a course by correspondence?

A: If a student is enrolled in the Focus on Prophecy Bible lessons, the postage amount for all the mailings is $25.10. For the Discover Bible lessons, the mailings cost $31.23.

Q: May I grade lessons for more than one student?

A: Yes! A Bible instructor is allowed to have as many students as they desire. We will only assign one student unless an instructor requests for more.

Q: What is training like? Will I be able to talk to someone or will it be a training video?

A: The Discover Bible School has scheduled regular Zoom meetings for training and support for volunteer Bible instructors. Training videos on how to use the Student Record System (SRS) are also available here.
