| Ten Reasons to Consider a Christ-centered Education for Your Child |
- Christian schools honor God. God's Word teaches loyalty and service to Christ in
all areas of life. Christianity is taught and modeled in the Christian School. Everything is done with one
thought in mind: honor God.
- Christian schools teach the Bible. The Bible is taught in every grade, every day of
the week. The teachings of Scripture give your child hope and purpose for life and how to live it. In
contrast, the Bible is prohibited from being taught in public schools.
- Christian schools use Bible-based curriculum. Teachers explain each subject in
light of Scripture. Integrating the Bible with academics gives your child a view of knowledge from God's
perspective. It also helps your child to understand God's rightful place in subjects studied at school.
- Christian school teachers are qualified educators. Your child is taught by teachers
who personally know Christ, who know their subjects, who know how to teach, and who know how to
motivate their students to learn. Your child's teachers are trained professionals: they know their subject
content.
- Christian schools emphasize academic excellence. A quality educational program
provides your child with long-term educations benefits. With high academic standards and an emphasis
on basic skills, the Christian school challenges your child to achieve at his or her potential.
- Christian school teachers pray for their students. Prayer is an integral part of every
school day. Children are encouraged to have an active prayer life and to trust God to answer prayers.
They are also invited to share prayer requests with teachers and class mates, and they are encouraged
to trust God to guide them in making good decisions.
- Christian school teachers love their students. Teachers are driven by something
far greater than finances or fame. They are motivated by a genuine passion and sacrificial love for
children - your children. They truly want to be used by the Lord to build moral integrity and academic
excellence in every student. In a Christian school, your child is under the caring influence of Christian
teachers who truly love "in word and in deed."
- Christian schools discipline with love. Discipline is administered in a loving and
kind way, a way that honors the Lord and guides your child. Teachers discipline firmly but lovingly. The
goal is to build Christian character and a strong self-image in Christ.
- Christian schools work with the home. Christian schools are committed to helping
parents develop their child's character, integrity, knowledge, and respect for authority, especially
parental authority. Teachers work with parents, not against them. This team-effort partnership enhances
your child's school experiences.
- Christian schools teach Biblical values and beliefs. The values and beliefs taught at
the Christian school complement the values and beliefs taught in the Christian home and in Bible-believing
churches.
