Why PBE
Ancient wisdom found in Proverbs, is applied in the PBE class, in comparison to the current world-wide business culture.

- PBE is taught in a manner to accommodate several learning styles (visual, auditory, and hands-on).
- Student participation self-paced, but pairs are encouraged to use the material together. More accomplished English speakers are encouraged to team up with the less experienced.

Ministry
PBE is an authorized ministry of IIBC, and recognizes the authority of the Bible in all manners of faith and doctrine.
We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired by God and inerrant, and that they are the supreme and final authority in faith and life. We believe that God has preserved His Word to the English speaking people through the King James Version.
