Why Christian Education?
Imagine for a moment that you are a ship sailing across the ocean. As you sail, there are days when the sun is shining, there is a gentle breeze at your back, and life seems to be just about perfect. Then, in an instant, the weather changes as a storm rolls through and creates dangerous winds, huge waves, and perilous sailing conditions. This is what life can be like for the typical high school student. Some days are fantastic, and others are filled with trouble, challenges, and uncertainties. As you contemplate this scenario, ask yourself this question: If your teenage son or daughter is the ship and the sailors guiding the ship are their teachers, who is guiding your children through the storms of life? What, how, and why are they teaching their students? What are their navigation points and philosophical foundations? Teachers are ultimately guiding their students through life and teaching them ideas and skills that will last a lifetime. The teachers who educate our children matter.
Christian education matters because we have Christian teachers who have a fixed and unmovable navigation point: Jesus. As the high school students entrusted to our care go through the daily challenges associated with being a teenager, they are constantly taught Biblical values, common-sense principles, and divine truth. This is a significant and compelling reason to choose Christian education, because in a world that emphasizes truth as relative, one has to ask the questions: What is your navigation point, and who are you allowing to sail the ship? Christian teachers matter.
The average teenager will spend roughly eight hours a day at school, and even more if they are involved in any sort of co-curricular activity. Assuming students receive eight hours of sleep at night, that leaves another eight hours of a student’s awake time away from school. For most teenagers this means they will spend approximately 50% of their awake time at school. This reality is incredibly important to keep in mind as you contemplate this important question: Who is sailing the ship?
Why Christian education? The Biblical values, common sense principles, and divine truth that are daily taught to students will not only last a lifetime, but into eternity. The days that students spend learning, growing, and developing in high school will be some of the most important in their entire lives. What teenagers are taught and fed in school during these formative years matters! There is a sense of certainty, peace, and confidence that comes with knowing that one’s education is based on the solid rock of Jesus. As you contemplate what high school you will allow to educate your child, we encourage you to partner with us as we guide our students through some of the most exciting and impressionable years of their entire lives!
