20th Anniversary Interview: Penny Fries

The 2024-25 school year marks Redeemer Classical School's 20th anniversary. To help us commemorate this milestone we're recording a series of interviews with founders, early adopters, and alumni. In the third installment in this series, we're speaking with alumna Penny Fries. Penny attended Redeemer from Kindergarten through 8th grade (the highest level we offered at the time). She is currently a senior at Vanderbilt University, majoring in Chemical Engineering. Penny shares what, in her mind, makes Redeemer such a special place and, along the way, offers some advice to current students for making the most out of their time at Redeemer.
