I think this is such a great post! This is my 5th year working at a Christian School. The administration is incredible as it truly does seek to glorify God in all aspects of the school. Although there are some Christian's who mission field is teaching in a public school, they are few & far between. They also have to adhere to strict guidelines about "sharing" their faith. When I was in public school the majority of my teacher's were not Christians. Do I really want their worldly beliefs being instilled in my future children who have such impressionable minds? They are at school more hours than they would be home. How much more time does it take to undo the beliefs/mindset that a non-Christian teacher's is instilling impressionable children? Just as our mindset as Christians effect our whole outlook on life, non-believer's cannot help but teach from their worldly mindsets. I believe that until they are an adult, parents are to continue to instruct them in the Lord.

These are my thoughts as an Christian, an educator, a k-college public school graduate, and Lord willing a future parent.

I would love to set my son and daughter on a journey from Christian Day care to Christian Collage/varsity if I could.

Thanks Paul and Stephen,

It is great that a school like Covenant Christian School can see the big picture and help others. It is an amazing place. Almost all of the fundraising at the school is directed to helping others.

I am hoping that blogs like this help spread the word about the Why Christian School project and it helps parents take a closer look at Christian schools. Creating the Why Christian School blogsite has also helped me in my marketing role. There are some good Christian schools doing great things around the world which I want to encourage and support.

Neil, thanks for your post. What I really love about Why Christian Schools is…

– It makes great use of video to share your perspective.
– Instead of being self-promoting (for your school), you created an excellent resource many schools can use.
– Instead of making the video only available on DVD, you also put it on YouTube where anyone can watch it immediately – http://www.youtube.com/christianschools

It's well done and an excellent use of video and social media.
